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 that such handmade dolls had different power, depending on what thoughts and intensions you have, while making it.
