kujulines

Kujulines is a term sometimes used in informal contexts to refer to decorative or stylized figures, often associated with folk art or handcrafted items. These objects can range from small figurines to larger sculptural pieces, typically made from materials like wood, clay, or fabric. The term itself suggests a connection to "kuju," which in some languages can mean shape or form, and "lines," implying a focus on outline or contour in their design.

The aesthetic of kujulines often emphasizes simplicity and expressiveness over intricate detail. They might depict human figures, animals, or abstract shapes, frequently characterized by bold lines and a somewhat naive or charming appearance. Such items are commonly found in artisanal markets, craft fairs, or as decorative elements in homes, contributing to a sense of warmth and personal touch. While not a formal art historical term, kujulines captures a specific appreciation for visually appealing, characterful objects that are often handmade. Their appeal lies in their unique character and the craftsmanship involved in their creation.
