The doll features a naturally aged wood patina, reflecting its historical significance and cultural heritage. The figure depicts a female form with outstretched arms, an oversized head on a stout neck, and a cylindrical body with a fluted, knobby base. This piece is a remarkable example of tribal craftsmanship, symbolizing reproductive power and the Ashanti people’s deep cultural traditions. The characteristics of this unique piece are based on the information provided by the previous owner. The doll was traditionally carried by Ashanti women, believed to aid in conception and safeguard them during childbirth. These figures were not just decorative items but held significant cultural and symbolic meaning, often dressed and adorned with jewelry by their owners. The surfaces remain in 100% original condition, with minor surface scuffs and abrasions. There are no fractures, wood loss, or repairs. This piece is a testament to the rich history and culture of the Ashanti people, making it a valuable addition to any collection of African art. Please inspect the photos carefully to note any minor imperfections and appreciate the authenticity and history of this extraordinary artifact. Important Note: Please carefully inspect each photo of the item, as I do not accept returns. Every product I list is thoroughly checked to ensure there are no major damages that would render the item unusable. If an item has a minor issue that doesn’t affect its function, I always mention it in the description, leaving it up to you to decide if it meets your criteria. Rest assured, if a product is listed, it’s because it can be used without problems; these notes are simply for full transparency. The no-return policy does not mean I sell damaged goods; rather, it’s in place due to past issues with returns where items were sent back that weren’t the same as those originally shipped. Unfortunately, some people take advantage of the system, disregarding the hard work and effort put in by small sellers like myself. This does not mean I believe you would do the same, but I want to be transparent about why this policy is in place. I am not a large corporation; I am just an ordinary person striving to move forward and take joy in each sale I make. I aim to highlight every detail of each item to the best of my ability. In extreme cases, like when a product arrives damaged due to shipping (which has happened once before), I always work out a satisfactory resolution with the buyer. I wanted to explain why I don’t accept returns, but rest assured, you can buy with confidence knowing that I am dedicated to providing quality items. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for visiting my store, Lorena’s Online Treasures. Best regards, Lorena.🤗
