Have a nice day! Today we will talk about dolls, which as you know are very different. Some of them are like kids, others just like adults, play with them, admire them, love them :-)
Dolls sometimes become part of expensive collections, and in some cultures they even worship.
Humanoid figures were made by primitive people, but their purpose was sacred. Dolls were made of various materials: wood, clay, fabric, precious stones and even metals.
We in the Kuban can often be found rag dolls. Such dolls-charms even became part of the culture.
Often they sewed bright garments, woven braids and put a wreath on his head...
But the process of creating talisman dolls was shrouded in a large number of rules and prohibitions. For example, never painted the face of the dolls, as the master believed that through the eyes can be possessed by something bad in the human soul.
It was also forbidden to use a needle and scissors in the work. Even a shred of fabric skilled workers tried to break off, but not to cut off not to cut off good luck. Then it was wrapped and secured with knots, giving the desired shape for the doll.
In the Kuban there are many types of such dolls-amulets. There are dolls "Ten", which did to help the young mistress. "Beregini" protected all households from evil people and thoughts. "Krupinski" was intended as a talisman for prosperity in the house, used to attract wealth and abundance.
Dolls without a face were considered an inanimate object and inaccessible to evil forces, harmless to humans.
