corn dollies (<visual works by material or technique>, visual works (works), ... Visual and Verbal Communication (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Objects plaited or woven from grain stalks, traditionally from the last sheaf to be cut in the field, intended to serve as a home over the winter for the spirit of the grain field, before being burnt or ploughed back into the field in spring to ensure the continuity of the harvest. The folk tradition originated in Britain and Ireland and was taken by immigrants to North America. The designs include human-like figures, one or more loops conjoined, or conical cages, and ribbons or rags are common enhancements. In the present time many are made for sale as crafts.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 由麥桿編織而成的物件,傳統上是使用麥田裡最後收割的禾束製成,作為冬天裡保護麥田的靈魂人物,讓農民在春天將麥田燒毀或耕犁前,確保持續性的豐收。該民族傳統源自於英國及愛爾蘭,隨後被北美移民所採納。其設計包括擬人肖像、結合多個環狀物或圓錐型獸籠,而加上緞帶及破布料也是常見的製作方法。如今多當成手工藝品般販賣。 
Dutch ..... Voorwerpen die zijn gevlochten of geweven van graanstengels, traditioneel van de laatste schoof die is geoogst. De corn dolly is bedoeld als een winterverblijf voor de geest van het graanveld en wordt in de lente verbrand of weer in het veld geploegd om de volgende oogst te garanderen. De volkstraditie ontstond in Britannië en Ierland, en werd door emigranten naar Noord-Amerika meegenomen. Ze werden onder meer ontworpen als mensfiguren met een of meerdere samengevoegde lussen of als kegelvormige kooien. Meestal werden ze voorzien van linten en lappen. Tegenwoordig worden ze veel gemaakt in de kunstnijverheid, met de bedoeling om ze te verkopen. 
Spanish ..... Objetos trenzados o tejidos de tallos de granos, tradicionalmente de la última hoja del tallo cortado en el campo, pensado para servir de hogar al espíritu del campo de granos en el invierno, antes de ser quemado o arado el campo en primavera para asegurar la continuidad de la cosecha. La tradición popular originada en Bretaña e Irlanda fue tomada por los emigrantes al norte de Norte América. Los diseños incluyen figuras humanas, uno o más lazos unidos, o jaulas cónicas y cintas y harapos son realces comunes. Actualmente muchos son hechos para ser vendidos como artesanías.
