Tanjore dolls are made using two different raw materials. Traditionally made with clay, these dolls are lately being made out of plaster of Paris. It is said that clay dolls may be produced in larger quantities than POP dolls provided there is ample sunshine for drying. Both the dolls require moulds but then the making processes differ. Although there aren’t many notable differences in their outcome, subtle differences may be pointed out on close observations. Some of the reasons stated for the change in material were that POP dolls are lighter, easier to store. The oil paints that are used for POP dolls fade lesser with time than their clay counterparts on which water - based paints are used.
