Akuaba fertility dolls – Ghana
Made by the Ashanti tribe in Ghana, Akuaba fertility dolls are one of the most popular in Africa. Women who cannot conceive usually carry them on their backs to serve as a good luck charm. The dolls are treated and nursed like normal babies in the hopes the fertility gods bless the woman with a child.
