Lovely Ashanti doll called "Akwaba" (which means "welcome" in most Akan ethnic groups), or fertility doll. We find on this statuette the ovoid head, identifiable among Ashanti dolls.
The piece presents a pair of legs, whereas for most of these dolls, the legs are materialized by a trunk.
Very beautiful patina, predominantly brown and shiny. Some marks and traces of wear.
The statue is proposed on a base.
