Vintage Namji Doll - 87.1
£165.00
A genuine vintage Namji (also known as Namchi) doll from Cameroon, carved from a single block of African rosewood and dressed in multicoloured beads with cowrie shells, coins, metal and leather. Each is carved with its own unique stance and expression.
Traditionally a fertility doll: given to a bride at her wedding and carried as a good-luck charm, then kept on the family altar or passed down to her daughter once she had a child.
Please note: as a vintage piece, a couple of bead strings are loose and there are small imperfections in keeping with its age.
Size: approx. 24cm H × 12 × 12cm.
