Description

This little skull worry doll is handmade in Guatemala from cotton thread and natural cibaque fibre, a tiny figure with a big, cheerful personality. Its round white head carries a simple skull face in black, with dark eyes and a toothy grin, and its body is wrapped in tightly woven cotton in vivid stripes of colour. It stands 6cm tall, 3.5cm across and 1.4cm deep, so it sits easily in the palm of your hand. This is an assorted line: we send one doll, its design chosen at random from several, so the colours and the style of its woven clothes will vary.

Worry dolls come from a much-loved Guatemalan tradition. The story goes that you whisper a worry to your doll and tuck it under your pillow at night, and by morning the worry has been carried away. We love that gentle idea, and the skull face gives it a playful, slightly mischievous twist. Keep one on a bedside table, in a desk drawer or in a coat pocket as a small reminder to set the day's troubles down. It is light enough to go anywhere, and it makes a kind little token for anyone who could use a lift, or a fun addition to a shelf of folk figures and keepsakes.

Each doll is made by hand, so no two are exactly alike: the weave, the run of the stripes and the small details of the painted face differ from one to the next, which is much of the charm. Treat it gently and keep it dry; a soft dry brush or cloth lifts away any dust without disturbing the threads. Tuck one into a card or a parcel, or set it beside a cup of tea for someone who needs a small pick-me-up.
