Akua'ba Ashanti figure - SOLD OUT
Superb Ashanti doll intended for the fertility of women. Young girls and women of childbearing age touched or carried such figures with them to improve their chances of getting pregnant.
That is really remarkable because its body is not a simple cylinder as we often see but a body of the most realistic on which the chest is very strongly highlighted. Pearls adorn the character.
