The dolls from the village of Inzhavinie were made at the turn of the 19 and 20th centuries and demonstrate the type of clay toy that was widely spread. The figures are modeled in simple forms – the skirt is shaped as a cone, the arms are bent and placed at the waist. The features of the face are hardly marked – a round clump of clay is slightly flattened by two fingers, eyes and a mouth are shown as small holes. Modeled generally the figures look monumentally. The figures are decorated by geometrical patterns.
