Product description
An impressive ensemble of eight handmade textile dolls (muñecas), presented in a single wooden display box. These dolls are crafted according to the traditions of the Chancay culture of Peru (ca. 1000–1470 AD). Symbolism and Meaning: Contrary to popular belief, these dolls have a very positive and loving meaning. They have nothing to do with voodoo or negative rituals. In the Chancay culture, they were placed in graves, for example, as "companions" or "protectors" to keep them company and support them in the afterlife. They radiate peace and caring and are a tribute. Features of the set: Each doll is approximately 15 cm tall and unique in design. They are composed of authentic, hand-woven antique textiles. The set showcases a beautiful variety of pre-Columbian weaving techniques, use of color (such as natural indigo and earth tones), and traditional costumes. Specifications: Quantity: 8 dolls in one display case. Doll height: approx. 15 cm each. Display box dimensions: 34 x 22 x 6 cm (wooden frame with glass). Can be hung. Material: Antique Peruvian textile on a plant fiber base. Condition: In very good condition. The colors are vibrant, and the display case perfectly protects the delicate textile. A unique and serene object for collectors of ethnographic objects, tribal art, or as a unique historical statement in any interior. The dolls are completely intact (no loose limbs). The colors (especially the pink and blue) have not faded in the sun. The box is free of odors and damage.
