Ashanti Akua-ba Figure
 | |  |  |  | Published since: June 10, 2008 Last update: April 28, 2009 |
This is the reproduction of a figurine from Ghana.
These wooden figurines were worn by pregnant women, tucked in their wrap-around skirts, in order to ensure they would give birth to a beautiful and healthy baby.
Despite their very simplified design, a disk for the head, a cylinder for the body, crossed by a line for the arms, these figurines were sometimes decorated with belts, necklaces or pendant earrings, in fine multicolored beads. The back of the head was engraved with geometric signs.
