Story behind the product ~ Amongst the Ndamji people in the Cameroon, unadorned dolls are made by blacksmiths, as playthings, for young girls.
When a woman marries, they are dressed with beads, shells, coins and other trinkets they become fertility dolls, cared for as though a real child.
The dolls are characterized by a narrow trunk and head, with a shapely body forming a striking geometric design.
