The Motanka doll is one of the most ancient handmade items that was made for a Ukrainian household. These dolls remain faceless to let the person use their own thoughts and imagination to determine what the dolls emotion on their face should be. Ukrainians used to believe that the doll would take away the illness from children and the home and it was also believed that Motanka doll protects the home from evil spirits.
