Corn or maize is a starchy vegetable or grain domesticated from a type of grass called teosinte in Mexico thousands of years ago.
When dried out, corn stalks were surprisingly sturdy and were used for a number of things from poles for crops to walking sticks and kindling for fires.
They also used the husks to weave mats, baskets, and of course, dolls! By weaving and braiding corn husks, the natives would construct doll-like figures for children.
When finished, they would be decorated with more corn husk or fabric clothing. Horsehair could be used as the doll s hair, and sometimes flowers or beads were used to further decorate the doll.
Although corn husk dolls were considered a children s toy, they were sometimes used during healing ceremonies or to ward off evil dream spirits. Many thought these dolls were magical charms that helped protect the home, livestock, crop, and overall health.
