Hand patinated reproduction on marble base. Mold made from a print of the original work, a wooden 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.
