Figures of this type have traditionally been used to increase young women´s fertility as well as to prevent damage.

The traditional wooden dolls are richly decorated with coloured beads. The pretty, handmade dolls are available in orange and white. Please choose your preferred colour (if in stock).

Size: about 24 cm tall

Entirely handmade from Cameroon

Each collectible doll is made by Cameroon artists by hand. Hence, there may be small variations in terms of size, colours, shapes and designs to the images and descriptions. The height of the dolls can vary between 2 cm to 3 cm.
