Russian rag-doll.
Russian rag-doll. What do we know about it? What meaning it has? What can it give to its owner? One cannot imagine what a huge unexplored world of our ancestors can be opened while making of this simple at first sight doll. There is a good but unfortunately forgotten proverb in Russia: One who does not play in dolls, does not know happiness.
For ages rag-doll was not just a toy, it was a symbol of clan continuation, pledge of family happiness, health and wealth. While education of kids a lot of attention was paid to their playing with rag dolls. While paying kid became acquainted with himself and the surrounding world; was taught to keep house; and made his mind for understanding of a word FAMILY.
Rag doll is a helper; a guard; a symbol. And in our unstable time this revived symbol can change a lot in everyday burden of life. Beautify your world, bring some light and happiness to it; and the surrounding world will smile back to you.
