    Namji Doll - Light Blue - 43cm - 181C

    £135.00
    BB Club Price: £121.50

    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 light-blue 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 beautifully tactile piece with real presence — lovely on a shelf or mantel, or gathered with others.

    Colour: light blue. Size: approx. 43cm tall × 9cm wide (base depth 9cm).
