Akuaba Ashnati Fertility Doll figure - Ghana - African Art Tribal Art

Item Details

Description

Title: Akuaba Ashnati Fertility Doll figure - Ghana - African Art Tribal Art

Date/Period: Second half 20th century

Origin: Ghana

Dimension: 10,24 Inch

Materials: Wood

Weight: 0,33 Pounds

Item type: Figure, doll, statue

Provenance: Akuaba doll statuettes (plural Akua'mma) are amulets used by Ashanti women to promote fertility. They are easily identifiable by their structure. Their circular head has a high forehead occupying the upper part, the lines usually appear in the lower third of the head. The latter is carried by a small cylindrical body whose arms develop at a right angle. The legs are absent, the trunk integrating directly into a slightly wider base.
This people consider women to be the final arbiter of all decisions. Fertility and children are the most common themes mentioned in Ashanti wood carvings. This ethnic group has built a relatively democratic society based on the moral value of the individual. The Ashanti founded a monarchy as early as the 17th century. The identities of the various Akan ethnic groups were influenced by both Islam and Christianity.
