AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of Namji Dolls - Namchi / Dowayo
Dowayo and Namji are one people.
Dowayo is the contraction of two words Doyo (human, man) and Woyo (child, nephew). Wa-Yo translates as son and daughter.
All these combinations allow translating Dowayo as child of man or human being, or son of man.
Fertility dolls, reserved for women, who are richly adorned.
The doll represents the child that everyone hopes to have, while being a "fetish doll of women" that should ensure their fertility.
It thus has the power to fulfill the woman by bringing a birth.
It is also reported that women without children or without milk touch or press the dolls of fulfilled women so that their wishes come true.
The birth of a child weighs heavily on the status of a couple; psychological blockages often occur.
A woman without a child is indeed considered an imperfect creature...
The doll is a placebo device that enables this blockage to be released.
