獨家非洲藝術拍賣（Montagut畫廊）

传统Namji（或Namchi）雕像或木偶在丰富的非洲雕塑中易于识别。它们极为简化的形态、与手臂同一平面张开的笔直双腿、极简的球形头部以及过于鲜艳的珠饰，是识别要素之一。

这些来自喀麦隆的非洲木偶有时被认为只是出于纯商业目的而雕刻，以满足殖民者，尤其是德国人，对带回欧洲的纪念品的需求。

我们知道事实并非如此，这些人偶是由未婚夫赠送给女性，并由她们佩戴，以确保她们的生育能力以及子嗣。

这尊木偶代表未来尚未出生的孩子。

据报道，缺乏子女或泌乳的女性会触摸或捏压这些人偶，以促使她们成为母亲的愿望成真。

Traditional Namji (or Namchi) statues or dolls are easily identifiable among the rich African statuary. Their extremely simplified shape, straight legs spread in the same plane as the arms, minimalist spherical head and excessively colored bead necklaces are among the elements of identification.

These African dolls from Cameroon were sometimes considered as objects sculpted for purely commercial purposes, to meet the demand of colonists, Germans in particular, for souvenir objects to bring back to Europe.

We know that this is not the case, these figures were offered to women by their fiancé and worn by them in order to ensure their fertility as well as offspring.

The doll represents the future unborn child.

It has also been reported that women without children or milk touch or press these figures so that their desire for motherhood comes true.
