In Cameroon, when a young Fali man becomes betrothed, he makes a doll (ham pilu) from
wood and decorates it with hair, beads, and other small amulets. He then gives it to his fiancée, who wears it in a baby carrier on her back. The doll is a symbol of their marriage commitment and represents their future child. The man gives the doll the gender that he desires for his first-born. The young woman cares for the figure until the promised child is born.
20th century. wood, multiple layers of multi-colored beads, leather , cowrie shells.
Provenance: Dutch tropical doctor (1980-1990)
