WORKING:
The C.G and total weight of the doll is concentrated at its bottom-most point, generating a dance-like continuous movement with slow oscillations. These enigmatic, handcrafted dolls have a cordial and welcoming aura, which can be attributed to the dancing style in which they seem to greet everyone, mainly by shaking their heads. Head shaking is the most striking feature of this doll and moving their body in a continuous, oscillating movement. This is possible because the heads of these dolls are detachable, and are not a part of continuous formation of the doll's body. Generally, these mesmeric dolls manage to elegantly balance themselves because their core weight is concentrated in the bottom-most region of their bodies.
