Nesting doll

A nesting doll was a type of wooden doll found on both Toril and in Barovia, that were enjoyed by children and adults alike.
==Description==
Nesting dolls were carved to be completely hollow inside, easily separable into a top and bottom half, and were sold as sets. Each of the dolls within a set would be incrementally smaller than the others, allowing them to be "nested" inside one another. And each of the dolls would be painted to depict something distinct from one another.
==Availability==
Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue sold a wide range of finely carved nesting dolls across Faerûn, all at the same price of 2 gold pieces.
;Adventurer's Set: A nesting doll set that together depicted an adventuring company. The individual dolls within the set depicted a bard, cleric, mage, rogue and warrior.
;Avatar Set: A nesting doll set that depicted notable personages involved in the Avatar Crisis. The individual dolls within the set depicted the cleric Adon, the mage Elminster, and the gods Cyric, Kalimvor, and Mystra.
;Famous Wizards: A nesting doll set that depicted famous mages of Faerûn. The individual dolls within the set depicted Elminster, Khelben Arunsun, Lord Manshoon, Vangerdahast Aeiulvana, and a generic Red Wizard of Thay.
;Heroes and Rulers: A nesting doll set that depicted Alusair Obarskyr, King Azoun Obarskyr IV, Mourngrym Amcathra, Piergeiron Paladinson, and The Simbul.
;Races Set: A nesting doll set that depicted a human and the four base types of demihumans, those being a dwarf, elf, gnome, and halfling.
In the Domain of Barovia, the toysmith Gadof Blinsky of Vallaki sold decidedly more macabre nesting dolls within his shop, Blinsky Toys. One such set depicted a person getting older with each successive doll, until finally the smallest of them depicted a mummified corpse.
