Wright's Indian Art > Folk Art > Dolls

Dolls are everywhere, in every culture. Dolls have always had a special place in folk art, as toys, as creative expressions, as teaching tools for lore and homemaking skills, We adults admire dolls as nostalgic reminders of childhood, and as works of art.

Each tribe creates dolls in their own image, which makes doll collecting fascinating and informative. From the very simple, to the elaborately detailed, dolls inform us as to customs and history. Just as importantly, they delight our eyes and souls.
