Ornate Namji dolls: finely carved from wood and adorned with glass beads and cowrie shells; standing on a wooden base. They originate from Cameroon, where the Namji tribe used them as good luck & fertility charms. They are treasured as family heirlooms. Now they make dramatic pieces for ones home.
Each Namji doll is individual and unique; the doll you select is the exact one you will receive.
In Cameroon culture, Namji Dolls were used to make marriage proposals! A man gifts a doll to the girl he wants to marry and if she accepts it, it means she accepts his proposal. She then carries the doll around as a fertility doll. As soon as she has a child, she bequeaths the doll to her daughter. Due to their authenticity and cultural heritage, Namji dolls are considered among the finest and most beautiful dolls in Africa.
