28. Children Play With Faceless Dolls
In addition to avoiding photography, Amish families strive to follow the command to have no graven image by making faceless dolls for their children to play with. In addition to promoting modesty and humility, these dolls are equalizers: no child can say that his or her baby is prettier or uglier than another one. These dolls also embody the unadorned, simple physical style of the Amish themselves, with no ornamentation or jewelry being allowed.
