Rag dolls are particularly charming
accent items and popular with children because of their unique
outfits. Dolls from pottery typically always display aspects
of daily native culture and children like to play with them as
they act out scenes of village life. Dolls from wax and corn
shucks are unique items seen only in Mexico and dolls from wood
are often laquered and really considered to be 'toys'. Dolls
from paper cardboard are seen in all families and are made from
plaster cast or clay molds - these dolls are even articulated
with legs and arms that move. |
