Dolls of India on Exhibit in the Library's Display Case.

Display case."Dolls of India" is currently on exhibit at the Petersham Memorial Library. This wonderful group of twenty-three handcrafted dolls was collected from various regions of India by Esther and Kenneth Potee during their forty years as missionaries from 1921 to 1961. Through layers of finely crafted dress, jewelry, and accessories the dolls represent different social castes, religious traditions, and work life of India. The range of colors, textures, and details are a delight to the eye -- for all ages! The Library cordially invites you to a Special Reception with Joanne Potee and members of her family on Saturday, July 23 at 12:00 noon. Please join us! 'Dolls of India" will be on display through the summer during regular Library hours.
