It is made using the Etikoppaka Bommalu technique, a turned-wood lacquer craft from Andhra Pradesh where wood is shaped on a lathe and finished with hand-painted color.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow is this different from Zishta's other trade-doll pieces, like the Tea Seller or Potter?\u003cbr\u003eAll of these are Etikoppaka vendor and household-scene dolls of a similar size, but each shows a different craft or trade. This one shows a weaver at a handloom, while the others show a tea seller, coconut seller, potter and buttermilk maker. They're meant to be collected as separate pieces in a village-life doll set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAre the loom threads and cloth fixed, or can they be adjusted?\u003cbr\u003eThey're set in place as part of the decorative scene, not meant to be pulled or rewoven.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs this doll safe to keep around young children?\u003cbr\u003eIt's best kept as a display piece rather than a plaything, since the strung threads and small painted pieces aren't meant for handling by young children.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Zishta","offers":[{"title":"1 Piece","offer_id":44994915696691,"sku":"ZTYM112","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9772\/0115\/files\/wooden-weaver-etikoppaka-golu-doll-zishta-traditional-dolls-toys.webp?v=1791462352","url":"https:\/\/desilocal.co\/products\/zishta-wooden-weaver","provider":"Desi Local Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
