Dolls constructed of flat pieces of wood, painted with various designs, and with 'hair' made of clay, have often been found in Egyptian graves dating back to 2000 BC. Egyptian tombs of wealthy families have included pottery dolls. Dolls being placed in these graves leads some to believe that they were cherished possessions.
Girls from ancient Greece and Rome offered their wooden dolls to goddesses after they were too ‘grown-up' to play with dolls. Most ancient dolls that were found in tombs were very simple creations, often made from such materials as clay, rags, wood, or bone. Some of the more unique dolls were made with ivory or wax. The main goal was to make the doll as 'lifelike' as possible. That ideal led to the creation of dolls with movable limbs and removable garments, dating back to 600 BC.
Following the era of the ancient dons, Europe became a major hub for doll production. These dolls were primarily made of wood. Fewer than 30 examples of primitive wooden stump dolls from England survive today The Grodnertal area of Germany produced many peg wooden dolls, a type of doll that has very simple peg joints and resembles a clothespin (a device for hanging washing on a clothesline).
AN alternative to wood was developed in the 1800s. ‘Composition’ is a collective term for mixtures of pulped wood or paper that were used to make doll heads and bodies. These mixtures were moulded under pressure, creating a durable doll that could be mass produced. Manufacturers closely guarded the recipes for their mixtures, sometimes using strange ingredients like ash or eggshells. Papier-mäché, a type of composition, was one of the most popular mixtures.
In addition to wooden dolls, wax dolls grew in popularity in the 17th and 18th centuries, Munich in Germany was a major manufacturing centre for wax dolls, Wax modellers would model a doll's head in wax or clay, and then cover it with plaster to create a mould. Then they would pour melted wax into the cast. The wax for the head would be very thin, no more than 3 mm. Some of the most distinctive wax dolls were created in England between 1850 and 1930. One of the first dolls that portrayed a baby was made in England from wax at the beginning of the 19th century.
