In a traditional quinceañera, the father commonly presents a doll during the last-doll ritual.
The doll symbolizes childhood and is often given to the quinceañera as she enters a new stage of life. In some families, the ceremony is called the entrega de la última muñeca, or presentation of the last doll.
The ritual may involve a parent, godparent, or another important relative, and its exact form varies widely. Some families use a doll dressed to match the quinceañera, while others omit the custom or replace it with a different symbolic gift.
The last doll is distinct from the shoe-changing ceremony and the presentation of a tiara. Those customs use different objects and express different aspects of the transition celebrated at a quinceañera.
