Muneca sin Rostro Neo308
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 11 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 Eric and Esmirna

My wife loves butterflies and when she came across your site she just had to have them as our wedding favors. We ordered over 100 assorted butterflies. We had our names and wedding date inscribed on each butterflies wing. They arrived intact and on time. Thanks for the great service your company provided.
