Description
Stunning Namji (Namchi) doll from Cameroon, made of carved wood and entirely adorned with white beads.
This piece stands out for its elegant stylized silhouette and its remarkable beadwork, typical of creations associated with the Namji/Namchi people of northern Cameroon.
In Cameroonian tradition, these dolls were linked to femininity, fertility, and family transmission. They were kept as symbolic objects and sometimes used as talismans or ritual objects.
