Dolls in greek life and art from antiquity to the present day

What is the presence and participation of the doll in the social and religious life of the Greeks? How does its role intertwine with the customs and traditions of the Greek people? Individual or group game, protagonist in the theatrical act (puppet show, puppets, Karagiozis, etc.), the doll accompanies and colors various moments of human life, acquiring many dimensions and exceeding the one-dimensional nature of the "object". An enjoyable study of the doll and its presence in Greece from antiquity to the present day, with informative texts and numerous photographs of rare specimens.
