Yaa Doll Handcrafted African Sese Wood Doll with Recycled Glass Beads

Winfred Korley

(10)

West African artisan Winfred Korley hand crafts this decorative doll from dark sese wood, recycled glass beads, and local clay. Korley first carves the doll from one piece of wood, then allows it to dry for two weeks, before adding final embellishments with clay and beads. The doll has two tribal marks on its cheeks, and it wears earrings of red beads, and necklaces of blue, green, and yellow beads. The doll stands upright with arms outstretched, and has protruding breasts and navel. Korley names his original work a yaa doll, after the Akan name for a female born on a Thursday.

Patience Hand Crafted Authentic African Fertility Doll from Ghana

Rita Addo Zakour

(271)

A colorful diamond motif adorns her forehead and embossed aluminum appears on her skirt. By Rita Addo Zakour, this sculpture depicts an Ashanti fertility doll. In West African society women place great importance on childbearing, and a married woman without children is sometimes shunned. Parents give such a doll to the newly married daughter, as its presence in the house is believed to have special powers. When worn by young married girls in a carrying cloth on the back, these dolls are reputed to ensure they will have children. The artisan names this doll Dzigbordi, which means "patience" in the Ewe language.
