A doll that is dressed in a traditional dress of a certain culture is a representation of this culture. These dolls are used to display the cultural traditions, values, and expectations through their features and clothing (Marquesr, L., 2023). They are a tool to hold onto these divers’ prospects, which might be outdated but are also threatened to disappear. How a doll reflects a society and culture creates a way of visualizing history (Dumont, B., 2023). Utilizing dolls as a way to connect with past cultural traditions and reflect upon those is one way to view this. The connotation of a doll is bound to many factors, like who bought it and for what purpose. A doll bought by a tourist as a souvenir can have a different intended meaning than a doll that was bought as a gift from a grandmother to her granddaughter. The intention of this Dutch doll, which is a symbol of the traditions of Volendam, is therefore the result of the context of its purchase. But what is the doll generally signifying, is it just the traditions, values, and culture of Volendam?
