The Worry Doll Clan Set of 100 Guatemalan Worry Dolls with Pouch in 100% Cotton

Lopez Garcia Family

(158)

Dressed in a variety of colorful dresses, 100 Guatemalan worry dolls are here to preserve ancient Maya traditions. Legend has it that the Maya Sun God gave princess Ixmucané the gift of solving people's problems. With time people started making dolls in Ixmucané's honor and they would tell her their woes, hoping she would solve them through the dolls. "This tradition is still alive," says Ana from the Lopez Garcia Family. "The idea is to have many worry dolls and trust each one with whatever troubles you. Once you've told them, you put them under your pillow. It is said that during the night, while we sleep, the dolls will whisper the solution to our troubles. For us, crafting the worry dolls - muñequitas quita penas - is our main source of income. It allows us to provide our children with an education as well as a job for all of us."

The set of 100 arrives in a pedal-loomed cotton pouch.

Please expect slight variations in color and size as each doll is crafted by hand with available materials, rendering each one unique.

A perfect gift to share with a friend you love.

I have ordered a number of worry dolls from the Lopez Garcia Family and have found that they make the cutest, most individual looking worry dolls I have ever seen. These adorable "Love and Hope" doll pairs are so sweet. I gave one pair to a dear friend of mine and he loved them, as do I. A nice way to share some love and hope with someone.

no worries

These just arrived today. They are so cute I have a smile on my face already and we haven't even begun to solve my worries. I have been a Novica customer for many years and I've never been disappointed. All the artisans are clever, talented, and it is evident they enjoy making art. Keep up the good work. The world needs more art and the joy it brings.
