Description
These tribal dolls are carved out of wood by the blacksmith, initially for the play of little girls. But these dolls are mostly used by infertile women in complex fertility rituals, the doll becoming a surrogate child that they will treat as such. In some cases the fiancé offered it to his future wife, the doll representing their future offspring. The decoration of the doll can also reproduce the attire of the new initiates after their period of confinement.
