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.
