Mexican rag doll
The best known Mexican rag dolls are those whose origins can be traced back to México City with the creation of a workshop "Centro de Capacitación Mazahua", with the intentions to enhance income opportunities for the Mazahua-Otomí people after their migration to the larger cities, in search for a better future. In Queretaro, they have been called "Marias" and they have registered a patent for the doll as an attempt to increase tourism.
