This superb African Namji Beaded Doll from Cameroon is 22" high, 4.75" wide and 4.75" deep. It is decorated with glass trade beads and cowrie shells and is mounted on a black wooden stand. These dolls, held by young Namji girls for play and fertility assurance, are among the finest and most beautiful in Africa, crafted from solid hardwood. With its own name, the doll was fed, spoken to and carried everywhere the child went, aiding in her preparation for motherhood.
