This 1984 Hallmark Keepsake Christmas Ornament is a hand-painted figurine of a Betsey Clark angel playing a round mandolin. She's got strawberry blonde hair and is wearing a pink gown with a white apron that has blue trim on the hem. The dated copyright is on the underside of the base and the ornament is packaged in the original full color box.
Betsey Clark (1915–1987), the American artist famous for her old-fashioned drawings of nature and waif-like children, started working for Hallmark in 1962, and her greeting card illustrations were so beloved, Hallmark made their first series of Keepsake Ornaments, in 1973, using her cottage-core art, which was then widely licensed, and is now highly collectible.
