Some traditional toys are also ritual or sacred objects. Hopi kachina dolls are sacred figures — buying one made outside the Hopi community, or displaying one inappropriately, is a real ethical issue. Indian Ganesh idols, temple-tradition Golu dolls, Nepali statues used in worship, wayang puppets carrying spirit associations — these carry meaning beyond decoration. Reputable sellers and cooperatives will explain what a piece is, whether it is intended for display or use, and any observance around it. When in doubt, ask, and buy from sources who can answer.
