Corn Dolly

A corn doll, or corn dolly, is a traditional craft, typically created from stalks of grain like wheat or oats, which are woven or tied together to resemble a doll or figure. Originating from agricultural folklore, these figures were historically made at harvest time as a symbol of good luck, protection, and a bountiful harvest. While their practical use has diminished, corn dollies are now appreciated as cultural artifacts and decorative items, reflecting rural traditions and craftsmanship. They serve as a reminder of agrarian heritage and the connection between communities and the land.
