🃏 Historically, jesters (also known as court jesters or fools) were entertainers appointed to amuse royalty during medieval times, often donning eccentric costumes and performing various acts of humor and skill. In contrast, the term "joker" is more contemporary, referring to entertainers who perform for the general public, continuing the tradition of bringing laughter to audiences. While both roles share the common goal of entertainment, jesters were exclusive to royal courts, whereas jokers entertain a broader audience.

🖌 Materials & Craftsmanship:
Crafted from mixed materials including resin/plastic for the face and hands, fabric for the clothing, and hot glue for assembly, this decorative doll was handmade with a combination of sewing, painting, structure making, and gluing techniques.
