A doll is a model of a human being, often used as a toy for
children. Dolls have traditionally been used in magic and religious
rituals throughout the world, and traditional dolls made of materials
like clay and wood are found in the Americas, Asia, Africa and Europe.
The earliest documented dolls go back to the ancient civilizations of Egypt,
Greece and Rome.
Dolls being used as toys were first documented in Greece around 100AD.
They have been made as crude, rudimentary playthings as well as elaborate
art. Modern
doll manufacturing has its roots in Germany going back to the 15th
century. With industrialization and the appearance of
new materials like porcelain and plastic,
dolls were increasingly mass produced. During the 20th century dolls
became increasingly popular as collectibles.
