Postcrossing Received from Ukraine (ID: UA515066)

This postcard was sent by Tatiana from Ukraine (postcard ID: UA515066).

The picture on the postcard shows a Ukranian doll called Motanka. The doll is made only by winding cloth, not sewn or attached together with any pin. The doll is always faceless except there is a cross across the doll's face.

In the olden days, the mother of a bride would make Motanka doll herself for her daughter using the mother's old clothes. This doll symbolises a female's wisdom.

I really love the story behind this doll!
