AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Traditional massage doll for premature babies and mystical illnesses - Bamoun / Bamileke - Cameroon
Producing a folkloric sound when shaken, during healing rites. Some studies also classify them among musical instruments.
The use of these healing fetishes/dolls and massages is quite widespread in Africa, among the Dan, among many peoples of the Congo, but also among the Kongo who produced the most prestigious ones.
Here, certainly a pair of prestige, judging by the luxury of the details.
The body is carved from bone with numerous motifs around its circumference.
