Beautiful handmade Mother & Daughter cloth doll from Rwanda, created in the traditional artisan style associated with the doll workshop of Gisenyi, Rwanda.
The larger mother figure carries her small daughter on her back, a wonderful detail that makes this piece especially distinctive.
The dolls are handcrafted using recycled fabric, reflecting a Rwandan artisan tradition centered on reuse, textile craftsmanship and economic opportunities for local women. The Gisenyi doll workshop was established in the 1980s and became known for handmade dolls, bags, stuffed animals and other textile crafts. �
