Doll African Large Akua'bua Mother Child Fertility Doll Ghana Handmade Doll Beauty Good Luck Fertility Doll Women's Child Statement

This is a wonderful Hand Carved Wood Akua'ba (Ashante) Doll Carved out of a Single Piece Sitting in a Chair and Nursing Her Baby is from Central Ghana. The legend and tradition continued as most carvers carved these “Akua’ba” dolls and people bought it with the belief that it will free them from a barren situation. Once the woman conceived and had a successful delivery, she would return the figure to the shrine as a form of offering. The popularity of the akua'ba figures,as the symbol of African female beauty and a symbol of good luck and health. Traditionally a woman would wear the Akuaba on her back hoping to conceive a child or that her current child would be born healthy. They have a large round head and are very popular around the world. And if the doll was not in use it would still be washed and taken care of by the owner. This Akuaba sitting in a chair shows the proud mother nursing her baby and the success of its birth.
