Aboriginal Girl Doll – 36cm Handmade & Hand Painted

Celebrate culture, creativity, and individuality with the Aboriginal Girl Doll – Buuja. Her name, Buuja, means “butterfly” in the Wiradjuri language, symbolising beauty and transformation. Each doll is carefully handmade and hand-painted, making every piece truly unique.

Dressed with a necklace and hair tie in Aboriginal colours and decorated with traditional body art on the face and wrists, this doll showcases cultural pride and artistry. At 36cm high, Buuja is the perfect size for display, storytelling, or imaginative play.

Because every doll is crafted individually, variations in face and body painting, clothing, and name ensure that no two are the same — each one a special creation of its own.
