This doll set was made to use as Christmas Ornaments. The set was made by a Multinational Company. This set of dolls is a stereotypical family of times gone by. The dolls are faceless because they could be used as toys or ceremonial pieces for other non-western religions. The male is dressed in overalls and the female has a flowing top and skirt with a head wrap scarf. The mother and a child, part of the set, shows the mother is holding the child using traditional clothes and blankets.
