A hand-painted variation on the traditional Guatemalan worry doll. Where the classic dolls are made of textile, this set is a small farmyard cast: seven figures, each hand-modeled and hand-painted, kept together in a custom wooden box.

The Worry Doll Tradition

By tradition, you share a single worry with each doll before sleep and let it carry the burden through the night. This set keeps that ritual and trades the human figures for a hand-painted cast of farm animals, each one rendered with its own details.

What Is in the Box

  • The figures: Seven hand-painted animals, including a cat, llama, rabbit, cow, chicken, rooster, and pig
  • Craftsmanship: Each figure is hand-modeled and painted in vibrant pigment, so no two sets are exactly alike
  • Storage: A custom wooden box with hand-drawn accents keeps the collection together
  • Origin: Handmade in Guatemala
  • Sold as: One complete boxed set
  • Ships from: Taos, New Mexico

Why Each Set Is Unique

No two sets are alike. Because every figure is modeled and painted by hand, the colors and small details shift from box to box. The variation is the mark of the maker, not a defect.

How to Use a Worry Doll Set

Tell each figure a worry before sleep, then keep the set on a shelf or nightstand. As a folk art object it stands on its own, displayed in its wooden box or arranged as a small menagerie, and it makes a considered handmade gift with its story intact.

Safety: For decorative and cultural use only. The figures are small and pose a choking hazard. This set is not a toy and is not intended for children.
