Carry a meaningful piece of Guatemalan tradition with this set of 10 handcrafted worry dolls. Each miniature figure is made by hand using wood, thread, and colorful cotton textiles, then tucked into a woven carrying pouch.

Rooted in a traditional Guatemalan practice of symbolically sharing worries and setting them aside, these tiny figures make a thoughtful adult comfort keepsake, desk companion, travel token, or piece of folk art. Because each doll is handmade with assorted textiles, every set is unique.
