A stunning Fertility Doll from the Chad region of Africa. Purchased from Tribal Art Dealer Francois Djenohan, Evanston, IL, in 2013.

Adorned with beads, cowrie shells and coins, they were carried on the backs of young girls (like real infants), to ensure their fertility and to help prepare them for later motherhood.
Early- mid C20th. Provenance Certificate provided. Very good condition.
Wood, metal, beads, cowrie shells, fibre.
