Quitapenas or "worry dolls" represent Ixmucane, a princess who was gifted with infinite wisdom. Children are instructed to confide all of their worries to their quitapenas and then place them underneath their pillow at night. The dolls are thought to impart their wisdom to them while they sleep and so that in the morning they'll wake up knowing what to do.
