Machine washable on cool/gentle cycle; tumble dry on low heat.
Size: 9" x 17"
 
ABOUT THE DOLL COLLECTION:
The inspiration for these dolls comes from the depictions of people and characters found in traditional Ethiopian art, who are often illustrated with simple (but elegant), hand drawn features that have large almond-shaped eyes and some pretty big foreheads – just like the people.:) Often, geometric patterns and sometimes, small floral repeats adorn the clothing and backgrounds - click through to the end of the product photos to see a few of the images that inspired this pattern story. This art style dates back many centuries, and these dolls bring this rich tradition to life. Available in 3 different styles - get the whole set!
