cornhusk dolls
Harvest craft figures
Cornhusk dolls are simple figures made from dried corn husks, traditionally crafted by Native American peoples and later adopted by European settlers.
The husks are folded, tied, and shaped into human forms, often left faceless in keeping with certain tribal traditions.
They served as children's toys and ceremonial objects: She learned to make cornhusk dolls at the heritage festival.
