Jewelry brand Alexis Bittar created Donald Trump-impersonating mannequins, which are perched inside the shop's storefront windows. Theses eerie statues are made of papier-mâché, which gives the appearance of a very rough and wrinkled face.

Each of the mannequins are dressed in snazzy suits, which are covered in dollar bills. All of the dolls have been handcrafted and "heavily accessorized with Alexis Bittar bangles, cuffs, necklaces and earrings." The [dolls are positioned in the windows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuice-character), which are facing the street so the mini Donald Trump figures can gaze at passersby.

These creepy dolls will be perched inside the jewelry brand's storefront windows in New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Washington until November 16, 2015. A representative of the fashion brand stated the the dolls are "a salute to the absurdity that is prime-time American politics and to The Donald’s larger-than-life persona."
