{"product_id":"skull-handmade-cotton-worry-doll-assorted","title":"Skull Handmade Cotton Worry Doll - Assorted","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorry 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRex London\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 cotton thread \u0026amp; natural fibre (cibaque)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.0049KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarnings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThese dolls are not suitable for children under 3 years.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the skull worry doll?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt stands 6cm tall, 3.5cm across and 1.4cm deep, small enough to sit in your palm, a pocket or a drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the worry doll made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach doll is made from cotton thread and a natural fibre called cibaque, woven and wrapped by hand into its colourful clothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I choose which design I receive?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, this is an assorted line, so we send one doll with its design chosen at random, and the colours and style of its clothes will vary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a worry doll for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the Guatemalan tradition you tell your worry to the doll and tuck it under your pillow at night, and by morning the worry has been carried away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs each doll handmade?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, each doll is handmade in Guatemala, so the weave, the stripes and the small details of the face differ slightly from one doll to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I look after it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep it dry and handle it gently, and simply lift away any dust with a soft dry brush or cloth to keep the threads neat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rex London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53517224673547,"sku":"REX-30621","price":5.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/30621-01.jpg?v=1794116000","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/skull-handmade-cotton-worry-doll-assorted","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
