Green and orange nesting dols

This lovely set of five nesting dolls is hand painted bright green and orange with a gorgeous yellow flower pattern on her dress. To make these dolls the smallest figure which cannot be taken apart is usually made first, then the other pieces are turned on a lathe. Precision is required to ensure the right amount of wood is removed from the doll’s top and bottom halves so that both pieces fit together perfectly. Crafted by hand by artisans working with the Equitable Marketing Association, one of our fair trade partners in India.
