Description
The Zaramo, the Lugurus and the tribes which surround them conceived dolls generally associated with fecundity, but to which other virtues would be allotted. Their first role is played during the period of seclusion of the young Zaramo initiate. The novice will behave towards the object as with a child, and will dance with it during the closing ceremonies of the initiation. In the event that the young woman does not conceive, she will adopt the "child". Among the Zaramo, this carved motif is found on the tops of canes, decorates ritual objects, and even appears on burial posts.
