According to legend, the Mayan princess Ixmucane received the ability to solve the worries of her people from the god of the sun. In keeping with that tradition, these quitapenas, or "worry dolls" from Guatemala are offered by the Lopez Garcia Family. Working with cotton on the traditional floor loom, the talented artisans hand-weave the colorful dresses of 100 distinct worry dolls. This awe-inspiring set arrives within a handy cotton storage pouch.

"Amazing little folks"
Never heard of worry dolls until my granddaughter told me about them. She wanted them for Christmas. I was amazed at the detail. She loves them. I just hope she doesn t have that many worries that she uses them all up! Beautiful craftsmanship

"LOTS of Cute and Colorful Worry Dolls"
The Lopez Garcia family has created some of these well-made dolls with light faces and some with brown faces, which I like very much. These Quitapenas (Worry dolls) are larger and more detailed than some I have bought other places years ago. It will be so much fun to give them as uplifting gifts. They will make my friends and relatives smile during these difficult months, because they make me smile every time I look at them. The Lopez Garcia family even tucked in a postcard of a site in Guatemala telling me thank you. I am so glad I purchased this set of 100 dolls.

"Colorful and cute little coin purse"
This little coin purse is such a clever small gift. It is very well made. I love the Worry Doll on it and the woven cloth shaped like a flower behind her. The doll is the largest and best looking worry doll I have ever seen.

I absolutely adore this and the price seems incredibly low considering how beautifully high quality it is! This amazingly lovely little purse lives in my bag daily and the gift wrapping included a fabulous extra worry doll which I also utilize. Thanks to Novica and thank you so very much to the Lopez Garcia Family for making this incredible piece!!
