Muneca sin Rostro Neo210
Choose this detail as a manifestation of Dominican expression. Hand made out of red clay. The doll without a face represents the union of three races; Native, African and European, thus the reason the Dominicans do not have a defined physical characteristic. Neoarte Clay Faceless Doll Large Size Doll. Approximately 10 inches high.

The fact that the dolls have no face reflects perfectly the reality of women in Latin America where there is a racial syncretism, a product of the conquest and colonization, as well as the arrival of slaves, including the Aboriginals.Born of a turbulent history and the mix of cultures, the Dominican people feel heir to the fusion of many tribes and races, the first of the indigenous Taino people of the island, the Spanish conquerors and that of the black slaves brought later from Africa. That's why one of the most prized crafts from the Dominican Republic are the dolls with no faces, female mud faceless that where one imagines the mulatto, the dreams of another European or dark features tend to make long dresses and Creole are depicted carrying water in jars, selling fruit or offering flowers with her head covered by a scarf from Madras or a wide brimmed hat. You never know what is the feeling, the soul of this Caribbean without expression whatsoever, without eyes, nose, mouth, although this has been modeled with the unmistakable sensuality of Dominican women.

To Dominican Creations,

My girlfriend has this stunning larimar necklace with a pair of larimar earrings, which happens to be one of her favourite pieces to wear. On a recent trip she lost one of her earrings during the flight leaving her heartbroken. I vowed to myself to replace the earrings for our upcoming anniversary.

Our anniversary has since past, my girlfriend was very thrilled because as it turns out, the earrings I purchased from you were a better match than the ones she owned.

Thanks for having such a great site, and I must say that the customer service and the merchandise you offer are both top notch!

I will certainly visit your site again.
