What role has/does a “doll” play in the history of various culture’s? Is there still a place for dolls today?
Question by imaginetimsreal: What role has/does a “doll” play in the history of various culture’s? Is there still a place for dolls today?
Dolls, or figures that represent humans, have been found all over the world, in many cultures. I want to know how they’ve been used in ritual, for teaching, as art, etc. Any info will be apprectiated…..I know why the “doll” speaks to me but searches offer little in the way of real information regarding dolls and their roots, so to speak, and how they were used.

Answer by limendoz
Akua’ba dolls were carried by the pregnant Akan (Ghana) women. It was believed that pregnant women should only look at beautiful things; or their child will not be beautiful. So, they carried these dolls that were carved in the ideal image of beauty.
Ndebele (South Africa) men used to put a doll on the doorstep of a woman he wished to court. Betrothed Ndebele women were given dolls and named their first child after the doll.
It was common practice throughout Africa for dolls to be “cared for” by young brides until they gave birth to their first child.
Tne Yombe or BaKongo (Zaire) made nkishi nkondi to protect the village from evil spirits and others that would harm it. Many were more like sculptures and larger than dolls.
Also, dolls were made as representations of ancestors (BaKongo)
Today: Dolls are toys. Generally, girls like them and boys don’t. Dolls (all toys and child’s play, for that matter), may fulfill learning functions that develop necessary skills.

General Note: Mary B. Billie has been a dollmaker since she was 17. She learned the skill by watching her mother, who had learned it from Mary’s grandmother.
Accompanying note: "This is what the doll looks like before Mary puts on its clothes, hair and jewelry. She usually makes the clothes ahead of time, so that they will be ready when she wants to make her dolls. For the smaller dolls, Mary uses simple decoration, but the clothes for the larger dolls use one or more of six traditional Seminole patchwork designs."
