Miniature Chinese Yam - Hand-Sculpted 1:6 Scale Yam Root Segments with Fuzzy Skin & Roots, Realistic Vegetable Dollhouse Food for Blythe & Barbie Kitchen Dioramas, Resin Jewelry & Polymer Clay Food

Miniature Chinese Yam — A Tiny Harvest from the Root Cellar

Hand-sculpted miniature Chinese yam at 1:6 scale: cut segments of yam root in earthy tan, each with fuzzy root hairs, brown specks, and rough dug-up skin, finished with a pale cream cut face. This is the slender "iron stick" yam (铁棍山药 / nagaimo) just out of the ground — the wispy roots and speckled skin are the details that make it unmistakably yam, not a plain stick. Each segment about 25–35 mm; suits Blythe, Barbie, BJD, and Smart Doll scenes.

• Vegetable market, grocery, and farm-stall dioramas — root veg reads instantly as "fresh from the soil"

• Miniature still-life photography, stop-motion props, polymer clay food collectors

Why it's different

1. Root hairs and skin texture — the wispy roots and speckled, dug-up skin are added by hand, the detail that sells a real yam.
2. Cut segments with cream faces — shows the starchy interior, ready to stage as a prep ingredient.
3. A rare subject — root vegetables are seldom made at doll scale; this is a true specialty piece.
