Zemi Dolls

A zemi or cemi is a deity or ancestral spirit, and a sculptural object that houses the spirit, among the Taino.  They were also created by neighboring tribes in theCaribbean and northern South America. I like to think that the dolls I create house kind ancestor spirits that protect the child the doll is for. This is one I had made for a fellow colleague of mine.

LOL I know one of her legs is bigger than the other.
