Motanky, traditional handmade Ukrainian cloth dolls, have held a place in children’s hearts, as well as serving as oberehy (good luck charms) for the home since pagan times. For the face, there are only crossed threads. This ensures that the doll is impartial, and will not cause mischief! Made in Ukraine.
