Karmen Teenager Wood Fertility Doll Figurine-25.3/10.3 CM
This highly stylised wooden doll is from the Ashanti, the largest sub-group of the Akan people. Many reproductions of such dolls exist but this example is very ‘real’ in every respect: it has unquestionable patina, is made of very light wood, and retains an old label on its base for the tribal art gallery

Description Video
This doll demonstrates the carving skills of Ashanti carvers. The characteristic features of such dolls are a flat round disk-like head, a high forehead, annulated neck, outstretched arms and female sex. Such characteristics symbolised desirable traits for a woman in Ashanti society. The over-sized head symbolised intelligence. The roundness of the face symbolised beauty. The annulated neck symbolised fatness – a sign of prosperity. Outstretched arms suggest generosity.
