Details

The Ashanti women of Ghana regard this doll as a fertility talisman. They take her along with them everywhere, for the doll is believed to foster conception, preferably a daughter. Winfred Korley celebrates West African beliefs and customs with a hand carved sese wood doll. Dressed in kente cloth, she carries a traditional fertility doll and is visibly pregnant. The artisan names her Akua, a name given to Akan girls who are born on Wednesday.
