Replica of the
African Asante doll. Figures like these were carried by girls and women
to promote their fertility and to ensure the beauty and health of their
offspring. The round, flat disc heads, columnar body with outstretched
arms and smooth, black surface convey the Asante (or Ashanti) ideal of
beauty.
