African Botswana Cloth Herero Doll South Africa

This is a unique Vintage Herero Doll from the Tribal People Botswana in South Africa. Dolls are among the most universal toys found throughout the world and through history. Ornamental dolls can also be used to represent aspects of cultural traditions, such as dress. Herero women adopted the Victorian fashions of the 19th Century Germans who colonized their lands. These dolls were purchased as souvenirs of particular countries and like many mass produced souvenirs they are often not accurate representations of a particular country or region, and may actually better reflect neighboring counties or regions. This occurs because costumes are often stylized and simplified resulting dolls wearing generic costume elements which are common to many countries/regions. This unique vintage Herero is one of a kind and would be a wonderful addition to your home or collection.
