content: A flat, abstract human figure made of stitched together reeds from Kenya. The figure's body is very basic and consists of a head made from two sections of crossed reeds and a square body with arms and legs extending at ninety degree angles. The head is affixed with black thread. The interior of the body has a grid of crossed reeds, with "x" shaped lashings to in green thread and thin reed to tie them together. At the top of this section a larger, loose piece of reed is threaded into the grid. The doll is sturdy but somewhat brittle.
