What is a "corn husk doll"?
A corn husk doll is a traditional handcrafted doll made from the dried outer leaves of corn. The husks are softened, shaped, and tied together to form the doll's body and limbs, often with a simple face or no face at all. These dolls are commonly associated with Native American cultures and early American folk traditions, as they were made using easily available materials. Corn husk dolls are often used as children's toys or as decorative items, symbolizing a connection to nature and the harvest. They are valued for their rustic appearance and cultural significance.
