Yanesha Doll

$35.00

Well articulated, entirely handmade Yanesha cloth doll. These are very special dolls made by Noemi Peña in Palcazu Valley. They are jointed at the hip and shoulder! The female dolls wear a traditional plant dyed cushma and have carefully strung heads of hair. Some have black hair, some have light brown (Noemi told me those were me!) The men wear either a handwoven cotton cushma, or a plant dyed, hand painted cotton cushma.

While these dolls are not 1:12 scale, they represent an incredible force of will and a bond between myself and Yanesha women’s associations. They are the first and only of their kind, invented and meticulously handmade by Noemi. A beautifully handmade, highly collectible ethic cloth doll.

If you prefer a male or female doll, please note it in the notes with your order.
