Since the beginning of civilization, man has made images of himself out of objects from his environment, either drawing on cave walls or as figurines made of wood or clay. These dolls or idols were used for religious or magical practices or rituals. Today, dolls are defined as a three dimension figure representing a human being. Added to this definition, is that a doll is a play toy for children. Dolls have been found throughout the world from the sarcophagi of Ancient Egypt, to the Catacombs in Rome to Native American graves of North America. Dolls tell a story about their past. That is why “the world of dolls” provides a treasure of information and holds such interest and joy for everyone.
