If you go to the craft market you will see them everywhere. They represent the mix of cultures and races here in the Dominican Republic, that are the result of centuries of international commerce, colonization, conquest, and the slave trade. The facelessness means that there is no 'typical' Dominican woman. Sandra Rodriguez Barron
About This Quote

In the Dominican Republic the face of a woman is not a sign of beauty anymore. The faceless woman symbolizes the mixed races and cultures of our people. We have African, Indian, European and Arab blood running through our veins. There is no way you can guess what a person looks like just by looking at them.

The women here are not unique because they all look different; rather unique because they are unique. The country has been known as a melting pot for centuries and we are proud of that fact.
