Instead of a doll’s face – a motanka, a cross is a symbol of the sun. The cross is also a symbol of harmonization of the spiritual (vertical line) and bodily (horizontal line), similar to the heavenly and earthly, male and female principles. It is known that the eyes are a mirror of the soul. The eyes on the sacred doll were not depicted so that identification with any living creature did not occur. People believed that a soul could fly into the eyes. The cross on the motanka’s face, as it were, testifies to her being outside of space and time; therefore, she is an archetype, the image of beregini, a vehicle of her strength. Motanka is a symbol of goodness and prosperity, abundance, a symbol of hope for the best and strong sacred object. Such a doll will be a wonderful gift and bring positive energy to the house. A beautiful paper scroll with a description of the chrysalis is attached to the doll and where you can write your dreams and invest in the doll. See more about our products here: etsy.
