This fertility doll is a "Biga" figure from the Mossi people of Burkina Faso. As stated by the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art, wood dolls in the form of stylized female figures are carved by Mossi blacksmiths. Parents give them to their daughters, who use them as playthings and to learn child care skills. Later the figures may play a role in initiation and childbirth. If a woman is having trouble conceiving she may commission a new, larger version of her childhood doll.
