The Namji tribe is famous for these carved wooden decorative dolls used as both fertility dolls and play dolls for young girls who would name them, feed them, and carry them everywhere. Each doll is carved with unique features and facial expressions, making each true one-of-a-kind. This small African Ramji doll is hand-carved from solid South African pine wood and adorned with natural cowrie shells around her head and waist, green glass beads and kente cloth garb, culturally significant silk, and cotton fabric. Each a special work of art, these sacred dolls help prepare young girls for Namji womanhood and motherhood while being widely deemed some of the most beautiful dolls in Africa.
I have paid much more for these dolls in the past at an upscale store. The quality of the doll from Perigold is exactly the same but for a significantly reduced price.. Sara. Delray Beach, FL. Sat Nov 18 2023
