[QUOTE="Sandra, post: 2689015, member: 3335"]I have heard these dolls referred to as Shroud Dolls, because of their simple construction. I have no idea when they first came into common usage but I do think they could be as old as 100 years or more. The simplicity of the doll would make it possible for a mother or child with limited needlework skills to provide a toy and the shape would make it easy for a very young child to grasp.[/QUOTE]
