Description
A beautiful doll made by tradition of doll making in Jhabua is many generations old. These dolls represent the lifestyle of tribal men and women in colorful traditional outfits and ornaments. They adorn the female doll with silver jewelry like Galsan Mala (pearl necklace) or Chaandi ki Hansli (silver necklace), Kadas (bangles) and colorful Bhagoriya bridal wear Ghagra/Choli along with small utensils like bamboo baskets and earthenware.
On the other hand, the male counterparts in Dhoti & Kurti are seen with traditional Teer Kaamthi (bow and arrow) – highlighting hunting and gathering as primitive pursuits of this tribe. Such symbolic representation of the Bhil and Bhilala tribe, its existence and ethos, makes these small dolls an important medium of expression of historical ethnicity.
NOTE: As this product is handcrafted, there might be a slight color or design variation, which is natural and hence makes the product unique.
