Village artisans - ages 6 to 60 - work collectively in Artesania Sorata to create these dolls and other Aymara Indian handicrafts. Each doll is designed and fastened from natural handspun and hand-woven wool and alpaca - as well as Bolivian grown - factory woven cotton muslin fabrics. The fabric is hand-dyed with natural vegetable dyes or high quality chemical dyes creating tones found in traditional pieces. Each doll is dressed in traditional Aymara clothing as Bolivian communities of the Andes can still be found wearing today. Choose from three adult dolls: female doll with baby on her back; male doll in traditional poncho - and male doll with pan flute. Or choose the child doll holding her lama. All dolls come with a tag that identifies the women that designed and sewed each individual doll. Adult dolls measure 8.5'' tall; child dolls measure 4 1/2'' tall.
