Namji Traditional Doll figure - Cameroon - African Art Tribal Art

Item Details

Description

Title: Namji Traditional Doll figure - Cameroon - African Art Tribal Art

Item Category: Statue, doll, figure, reliquary

Date/Period: Second half 20th century

Origin: Cameroon

Materials: Wood, pearls

Dimensions: 20,47 Inch

Weight: 2,65 Pounds

Note: Stand not included.

Additional Information: These African tribal dolls are carved in wood by the blacksmith, at first for the play of little girls. But these dolls are mostly used by sterile women in complex fertility rituals, the doll becoming a surrogate child that they will treat as such. In some cases the fiancé offered it to his future wife, the doll representing their future offspring. The decoration of the doll can also reproduce the clothes of the news initiated after their period of confinement.
