About Ndamji Dolls

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. Unadorned dolls are also used to mark houses when the Ndamji are at home.

This piece has been intricately created by hand. If there are small flaws it is a sign and proof of human touch, making each and every piece unique with tiny little differences.
