Set of 4 Handcrafted Cotton and Cibaque Tree Worry Dolls, "Mayan Trees"

Charming trees with human forms are depicted in this delightful set of four worry dolls or muñecas quitapenas, traditional Guatemalan dolls believed to magically take your worries away by placing them under your pillow. Meticulously handcrafted from cotton, cibaque fibers and cotton cord, the lovely dolls are designed by artisan Hector Ponce whose inspiration was the ceiba tree, Guatemala's national tree which was considered sacred by the Mayans.
