Aboriginal Elder Aunty Doll – 36cm Handmade & Hand Painted

Celebrate Aboriginal culture and tradition with the Aboriginal Elder Aunty Doll – 36cm. Her name, Jiemba, means “evening star” in the Wiradjuri language, symbolising wisdom and guidance. Each doll is lovingly handmade and hand-painted, making every piece a unique representation of cultural pride.
