Ndebele fertility dolls – South Africa
Fertility dolls are of very high significance among the Ndebele tribe in South Africa. The doll is secretly made by the bride’s maternal grandmother and presented to her after her wedding ceremony. According to customs and tradition, the doll must either be destroyed or passed on after the bride gives birth to her third child as it deemed unlucky to keep it afterwards.
