"a small and glowing facsimile"

"The doll is the symbolic homunculi, little life. It is the symbol of what lies buried in humans that is numinous. It is a small and glowing facsimile of the original Self. Superficially, it is just a doll.
But inversely, there is a little piece of soul that carries all the knowledge of the larger soul-Self. In the doll is the voice, in diminuitive, of old La Que Sabe, The One Who Knows."

-- from Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run with the Wolves

The toys agree.
