Vintage set of six tiny handmade Guatemalan worry dolls presented in their original hand-painted wooden box.
Each miniature doll measures approximately 1 inch tall and is individually handmade with small wooden bodies, painted facial features, black textured hair and colorful thread and woven-fabric clothing. Each doll is slightly different, giving the set wonderful handmade folk-art character.
Includes all 6 miniature worry dolls shown in the photos.
The lightweight wooden box features an aged hand-painted design in red, green and yellow tones. The box and figures show genuine age and wear consistent with a vintage handmade piece.
Guatemalan worry dolls, also known as muñecas quitapenas, are traditionally associated with the custom of telling the tiny dolls your worries before placing them beneath your pillow at night.
CONDITION:
Vintage pre-owned condition with age-related wear. The wooden box has noticeable wear, surface marks, fading and separation/damage around portions of the lid and edges. The dolls show some age and handmade irregularities, including loose/frayed threads and fabric wear. Please review all photos closely for exact condition.
A really charming little vintage folk-art set with all six colorful miniature figures still together in their original painted wooden box.
