Ukrainian Motanka - doll "Mother" is the traditional Ukrainian magical doll - amulet.

This particular doll with children is a "Mother". It is an amulet for mother and child for health and fertility. This doll was also made when a woman could not get pregnant. The doll was put in her bedroom, and when the child was born, it was taken to the common room. Two children in the arms of the doll is also a symbol of double income in the family.
Motanka "Mother" is a strong amulet for woman and family. Made with love and good thoughts, this doll carries positive energy.

Tradition of ethnic doll motanka goes in deep past. Some researchers believe that this tradition was even in Trypillya culture, existed in Ukraine in V-IV century BC because people grew flax and produced linen in those times.
In former times, the Ukrainian doll-motanka was not just a toy, but also a talisman and home amulet, symbolizing the continuous connection between the generations.
In modern Ukraine, as centuries ago, people make such dolls with different meanings. They believe newest that such handmade dolls had different power, depending on what thoughts and intensions you have, while making it.
We believe that this Ukrainian handmade amulet doll should be faceless and the one that serves as a guardian-talisman could be with a cross instead of a face. The doll-motanka has no eyes, because, according to an ancient archaic tradition, the spirit of a living being can fly into them.

On the last photo you can observe my other "Mother" motankas in another colour schemes.

This motanka is made using ancient traditional techniques and materials. All the embroidery on the fabric is also handmade.

Making motanka is a sacred process, each motanka doll - individual and unique, accurately reflecting the needs of the customer. Your doll may differ slightly from the doll in the photo (fabric, embroidery pattern), but, I assure you, it will be perfect for you. Also, when ordering, you can write exactly what you would like to put in your doll (health, prosperity, peace...) and we will try to "weave" them into the motanka)
