What object may symbolize the end of childhood at a quinceañera?

The last doll may symbolize the end of childhood at a quinceañera.

In this tradition, the celebrant receives a doll as a symbolic reminder of childhood before entering a new stage of life. The object may be presented by a parent or another relative during the ceremony or reception.

The last doll is one of several regional and family customs, not a required part of every event. Other symbolic presentations can include jewelry, a Bible, a tiara, or a bouquet. Because practices vary, the doll should be understood as a recognizable tradition rather than a universal rule governing all quinceañeras.
