The white death dolly is a dolly to be comforted rather than comforting the owner. The ‘death’ side of the death dollies are represented by crossed arms. This is an idea taken from Egyptian mummies where the crossed arms represent death to resemble the God Orisis whose arms were crossed as he was holding a staff. As a simplified ‘hieroglyphic’ form, the unclothed death dollies explore the bond between life and death.
