RARE piece! Ethnographic Native American 1900-1950: Father, Mother & Child textile doll made with fragments of true Peruvian mummy's clothes from burial sites all over central Peru. They are usually made by members of the cultural group of Chancay using the antique weaving remnants and imitating the original dolls or figurines in use by their ancestors a millennia ago. This dolls in number of few hundred were sold as souvenirs in Peru in the 1960s and even 1970s. Today they are a true treasure for collectors.
Modern indigenous Peruvian artisans recreate Chancay dolls (Peru ca. AD 1000 - 1476) in the old style using ancient fabrics. A common difference between ancient and modern dolls, however, is the ancient dolls usually had textile woven faces. The fabric for the face was specifically created for that purpose. Modern dolls usually have facial features embroidered onto plain cloth. Also, since there is a market for the dolls, textile fragments used in modern doll manufacture are traded from throughout the Andes. It is not unusual for modern dolls to combine fabrics that originated at various locations along coastal Peru - from the North Coast to the South Coast, and that are separated in time by thousands of years. Most, such as the dolls pictured here, are composed primarily of Central Coast, Chancay fabrics.
One of a Kind. The doll can be used as a collector's item or also if you have a boho, retro ethnic home, you can think in using them as part of your Christmas decoration. In any case, you will enjoy having such particular and powerful treasure with you!. they are in a good Vintage condition!
Measures 7.2" x 3.9" or 18.5 x 10 cm
