About Esusu Images

Esusu Image African Dolls are truly unique works of art, each doll is made of colorful fabrics and are elaborately
designed and detailed. Each one-of-a-kind doll comes with a card containing its cultural information along with
a certificate of authenticity. Each is individually signed and dated by the artist. New dolls are featured every
month. There are three families of dolls:
1. The soft sculpture dolls come in four sizes, each doll is anatomically correct.
2. Esusu's fabric sculpure dolls are top-of-the-line, and you can get babies, children and adults. All dolls are jointed and anatomically correct.
3. The last family is the Tsoobi, which means 'Wooden Ladies.' These dolls can come as stander, sitter, and jointed dolls.
