Description

FANTI fertility doll from Ghana. Beautiful example of an antique FANTI doll, expression of an idealized beauty, protecting the pregnant woman who wears it and ensuring the aesthetic qualities of the future child to be born. Their atypical shape differs from the better known shape of the Akwaba Ashanti dolls with a round head, here the head, engraved with patterns on the back is rectangular and rises upwards, the neck is ringed and adorned with glass beads as well as at the waist. The top of the head has holes that were to accommodate an adornment ... For its stability this piece is sold on a base. Beautiful patina, presence of desiccation cracks.
