Handmade by a local friend of ours. These dolls measure about 3 3/4” tall by 3 1/2” wide. I fell in love with these as soon as I saw them.
Not meant for small children that still mouth toys.
The Krupenichka doll is a Slavic household amulet dating back over 1,000 years. Traditionally filled with grain or cereals from the fall harvest, she would watch over the household until spring, protecting the family from harm, assuring abundance, and perhaps even bringing good luck. At sowing time she could be disassembled, with the seeds being used for their intended purpose. The charm at her belt is a gift to her, a token of gratitude for her diligent watchfulness.
