Ixmucané's Table And Cotton Table Runner

Guatemala's Lopez Garcia Family creates this delightful embellished table runner that is sure to be a conversation starter. The short ivory cotton runner is embellished at both ends with .quitapenas., or Guatemalan 'worry dolls'. According to legend, the princess Ixmucané was granted the ability to solve people's problems by the Sun God. Over time, people began to make tiny dolls in remembrance of Ixmucané. They would tell the dolls their problems in the hopes that Ixmucané would solve them. The custom became very popular, and continues to this day. The charming table runner is completed by olive green tassels at both ends.
