Spirit Dolls
The spirit dolls are culturally inspired and handmade by The Sisters of Perpetual Whimsey. Variations of Horses, Dogs, Cats, American Pioneers, Native Americans, Mexican Women (each state in Mexico has a traditional Costume), African Warriors, African Women, and African Animals. The dolls carry a money bag or purse symbolizing wealth and an antique optical lens to signify clear sight. These dolls represent various cultures from around the world including the Tuareg Blue Men of the Sahara, Zulu Warriors, Nigerian Market Women, and American jazz singers. All are unique, all are made by the artist - me.
All Spirit Dolls are Approximately 15” High & 5-8” Wide.
