By Elias Garcia, this handcrafted cross is a reminder of the importance of faith. The artisan covers the open figure with handwoven fabric. Diminutive worry dolls in handwoven apparel stand shoulder to shoulder to surround the cutout cross. 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 that the doll will provide a solution as they sleep.

I have a Guardian Angel friend who is always there for me, for her husband, her family, her church .... She is pure goodness and is unstoppable. This was perfect to give her. I would keep these in stock ... and do keep a couple on hand, because of the cultural value that sets it aside from average gifts, the beauty and sweetness of the wreath, and the quality. I love it, and I love NOVICA and all Elias does. Even through rough times of my own, these bring joy. Thank you for never disappointing!

This heart wreath was given to my husband when work challenges were especially difficult. The darling worry dolls were given their job as my husband smiled and recognized his fretting. The wreath is beautifully detailed, a sweet reminder to breathe deeply and enjoy the ride.
