Pvpa - Roman Doll

The earliest known dolls were found in Egypt. They were very simple rag dolls. Throughout history, they have been a beloved toy for children, as they allow both boys and girls to learn how to dress, comb, wash, and so on by imitating adults.

The Greeks also had their own dolls and they were already beginning to be made in terracotta, becoming increasingly sophisticated.

In ancient Rome, fully articulated dolls were made, as in this reproduction. The materials were diverse and, as always, depended on the status of each child. Dolls were made of wood, ivory, bone, or even amber. They most likely continued making rag dolls as well, but unfortunately none have survived. Roman dolls were perfectly detailed. Dolls followed the hairstyle trends of each era, which really helps us classify them by period.
