I was upstairs in the shop for one thing, when my eyes were caught by something else: discovering these beautiful Asante / Ashanti Akuaba dolls not only off of a high shelf and easily visible, but also on our 60% off table! What a find! In addition to being beautiful, these dolls are intended to aid in fertility: Ashanti women hoping for offspring carry these 'Akuaba dolls' in their clothes, and treat them like the child they hoped to have. Once the ‘Akuaba’ figure has fulfilled its purpose, the mother of the desired child places it on her domestic altar, where it is worshipped in a shrine, or she passes it on to the next generation. #asante #ashanti #ashantiakuaba #asanteakuaba #akuabadolls #akuaba #fertility #fertilitydoll #fertilitytotem #totem #fertilityjourney #africanfertilitydoll #africanart #africandoll #africanartifacts #gift #christmas #decorate #decor #shopsmallbusiness #shoplocal #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise
