Made to represent its makers, this rag doll wears a long cambaya skirt and cross-stitched vest, similar to the traditional Otomí and Mazahua style of clothing (Aguirre Mendoza & Borja Cruz, 2020). While the doll is intended to represent both groups, the style is more inspired by the Mazahuas' style of dress as it is generally more vibrant than that of the Otomí (Durango, 2014).
In the dress of each doll, like in the dresses of Otomí women, a combination of cross-stitching patterns can be seen. These patterns often include elements referring to significant parts of indigenous knowledge and beliefs. For instance, in the community of San Ildefonso Tultepec, butterflies are considered to be the souls of the deceased and may be incorporated in cross-stitching designs to honour them (Aguirre Mendoza & Borja Cruz, 2020). Similarly, patterns including corn-bushes may refer to agrarian practices of planting and cultivating crops (Aguirre Mendoza & Borja Cruz, 2020).
