Delightful soft-sculpture dolls like this often depict
scenes from the cultural life of the women who
make them. Themes included traditional world of
marriage, motherhood and home, as well as a
wider experience of sport and town-life. Thembi
Mchunu is the initiator of this craft in 1982.
Her creativity is inspired by recalling the joys of
childhood games, traditional umbondo (bridal gift-
giving), beer-brewing and dance competitions for
dolls.
