Twelve diminutive worry dolls in handwoven apparel want to be your friends. According to Maya legend, the sun god gave princess Ixmucane the gift of solving people's problems. With time, people started making dolls in Ixmucane's honor and they would tell her their woes, hoping she would solve them through the dolls. Many people whisper to the dolls, then place them under their pillows at night, hoping the doll will provide a solution while they sleep. Gift them to your friends or keep them all together like a family. Handcrafted by the Lopez Garcia Family, they arrive in a bag of handloomed cotton.
