Dolls? They are black figures but what they actually are isn't clear to me. Using African American charicatures on everything from salt and pepper shakers to pancake boxes to hitching posts used to be more common than it is today but I've seen all sorts of such in past decades (and mostly in other parts of the country).
I'm not suggesting it matters much. The purpose of hanging them there seems actually clearer than what they actually are.
