Papusa de fertilitate - Namji - Camerun
Interesting African fertility doll of Namchi, Cameroon. Hand made in abstract form, decorated with many colored glass beads and kauri shells.
The dolls were held by young Namji women to play and to ensure their fertility, and they are considered among the finest and the most beautiful dolls in Africa. They are carved from solid hardwood. The doll would have a name, be fed, be talked to and be carried strapped to the back everywhere the child would go. The most popular place to carry ones’ doll is strapped to the back the way real infants are toted around. This was the young girls’ first baby and it was her responsibility. This doll helped prepare the young Namji woman for her role as mother in her future life. Though most of them represent females, they sometimes appear as couples.
