Description from the seller

Charming doll from the Ibibio. Notably the decoration with black stripes. Also the short arms, like small stumps, are characteristic. In this case they have sustained damage. The broad hips refer to motherhood. Also the prominent navel is a symbol of the place where life is passed on.
