Beloved #toys: a pair of #Roman ivory #dolls with articulated arms and legs found in a tomb of a little #girl from a wealthy family in Emona, Ljubljana/Slovenia.

The majority of the dolls in Roman times were made of less valuable materials such as clay, wood or linen.

The two dolls that could be dressed with clothes must have been very precious to the girl who died far too young.

Dating 2nd half of the 3rd c. AD.
