In Cameroon, when a Fali man gets engaged, he makes a wooden doll (ham pilu) and decorates it with hair, beads and small objects. This beaded decorative head is part of that tradition.

Au Cameroun, quand un jeune homme Fali se fiance, il fabrique une poupée en bois (ham pilu) et la décore de cheveux, de perles et de petits objets. Cette tete perlée décorative s'inscrit dans cette optique.
