Day of The Dead

Worry dolls or muñecas quitapenas are part of Guatemalan legends that date back to Mayan times and are linked to the goddess Ixchel. Legend has it that if you tell one of these dolls your sorrows and then place it under your pillow before going to sleep, it will take away your pain and send blessings your way. Guatemalan artisan Hector Ponce designs this set of four worry dolls inspired by the Dead of The Dead celebrations entirely handcrafted from cotton, cibaque fibers and cotton cord.
