[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 4887413, member: 45"]Maybe not technically "Amish," (as in made by an Amish person) since Amish their dolls don't have faces. At least not in the Amish areas I've visited. Perhaps it's just a case of widespread mythology, but I was told it was because of their religious belief against the use of "graven images." The use of ribbons, lace, or sheer fabric and shortened sleeves is also very non-Amish, so I'd say no, they are not Amish dolls.[/QUOTE]
