I know what you are thinking while looking at this photo right now. I am such a teaser because of these dolls. They just look like voodoo dolls. They are dolls dressed up in native clothes of the Cordilleran in my country. I took this photo in one of the shops in Porta Vaga, Baguio City, Philippines. What do you think of these native dolls?

@Shavkat No, they are not, I have seen Voodoo dolls in New Orleans, they are different.

They are nice. It's best to put them in a clear plastic box and have them labeled with what tribe are they representing.

I agree. It seems the owner needs to know this.

@Shavkat I am so scared of getting tattooed. This must be so painful

@Nawsheen I am sure it is painful because they used the cacti pricks.

Some tribes practice traditional tattooing. It shows their status in the tribes.

Dolls should be for joy, not for bad meaning. Hope there's no more people play with voodoo or aother black magic!

@Vree0937 One thing is for sure, it is a sign of personal insecurity.

It's more like a sesame doll, voodoo I think without mouth and eyes.

@RebeccasFarm I can use them with these loud neighbors next to our house. However, I do not need them since they started to move out.

I agree. I just want them to draw the faces instead of using the eye buttons.
