Mother | Tibetan Nomad Doll

Ama-la translates to mother in the Tibetan language. Dressed in her traditional Tibetan dress called chuba and pangden (apron) which is a signifier of her being a married woman, with pearls and a coral around her neck. Turquoise, corals and pearls are the most common precious gems and stones used in Tibetan jewellery.

The dolls are handcrafted and showcase Tibetan culture through diverse attire and jewellery. Each piece is handmade with Himalayan sheep wool and fabric scraps. The Tibetan Nomad Dolls are exceptionally well-made by a fair-trade enterprise based in the valley of Dharamshala, in the Northern Indian Himalayas that employs women from the local Tibetan and Indian community. Their aim is to empower the artisans by training them in new skills and creating meaningful, income-generating, and enjoyable work opportunities within a homely and supportive environment. Additionally, they focus on creating a series of high-quality inspired by Tibet’s unique culture.
