It is known as a Ukrainian folk doll with embroidered design around the world, but for Ukrainians it has always been a real amulet and a symbol of authenticity and feminine wisdom. Its rich history proves that the Motanka was not only a toy but a reliable guard for the Ukrainian people, because ancestors believed in its miraculous power and protection from misfortunes and disagreements.
These Motanka Dolls are uniquely crafted with various designs and decorations, making each one special. Since each doll is handmade, it's natural that there may be slight variations in appearance from the photos.
These dolls were handmade for the Autism Unity by Ukrainian families of children with autism, members of “The United Hearts” support center in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine.
All proceeds from sales will contribute to "The United Hearts," supporting their cause.
