    Namji Doll - Red - 51cm - 16.4

    £145.00
    BB Club Price: £130.50

    A hand-carved Namji (also known as Namchi) doll from Cameroon. Carved from a single block of African rosewood into a bold geometric figure, then dressed in red beads and finished with cowrie shells, coins, metal and leather. No two are quite alike in stance, face or beadwork.

    Traditionally these are fertility dolls, given to a bride at her wedding and carried as a good-luck charm. Once she has a child, the doll is kept on the family altar or passed down to her daughter.

    A tall, striking piece with real presence — a natural focal point in a styled corner or among a gathered group.

    Colour: red. Size: approx. 51cm tall.
