Ritually Burned Ewe Doll
This small, richly patinated doll is a singleton. Ewe dolls are carved upon the death of a twin although they may pass away years or even decades apart. Local custom allows for the mutilation of some dolls to treat the ailments of family members, resulting in the feet or arms being cut or broken off. Although this female doll is whole, it has been ritually burned on one side and across its breasts.
