What do you call the wooden doll that you open to find more smaller dolls stacked within-in spanish?

Question

I am looking for names of some traditional Mexican items. One of the items is the "wooden stacking doll that opens and contains smaller dolls inside". The other is the "black bowl used to crush corn in for making tortillas" and the "hand tool you use to crush the corn for tortillas"
