Handmade Ukrainian Motanka – One of a Kind Cultural Art

Motanka is a traditional Ukrainian protective doll, created without facial features and formed through wrapping, tying, and stitching. It is a symbol of protection, continuity, and connection to family and heritage. As a Ukrainian maker, I create each Motanka with care and focus, respecting its traditional role as a protective symbol and forming it in a calm state with thoughts of health, protection, and well-being for its future home. This makes each piece both handcrafted and deeply personal. This one-of-a-kind piece is approximately 25 cm tall and took over 6 hours to create using natural materials such as linen, cotton thread, natural fibers, ribbons, lace, beads, and ultra-soft wool yarn. Meant as cultural art. 💛 Price: $170 CAD 📦 Shipping: Available for a fee 📍 Pick-up: Oakville I also accept a limited number of custom Motanka requests. Pricing may vary depending on size and detail.
