Abstract

The article explores the cultural significance of souvenir dolls from various countries, particularly focusing on how they served as miniature representations of traditional dress and cultural heritage for children in the 1960s and 1970s. It highlights specific examples, such as Ethiopian dolls dressed in habesha kemis and netela, Bavarian dolls adorned with elaborate trims, and flamenco dolls that reflect the artistic vision of Spanish culture. The dolls not only provided a tangible connection to different cultures but also sparked curiosity about global traditions and lifestyles. The article concludes by noting the decline in interest for such dolls in the digital age, despite their historical role in fostering cultural awareness. [Extracted from the article]
