The Ndamji Doll | Grand White is a beautifully crafted piece inspired by the traditions of the Ndamji people from Cameroon. Originally created as playthings for young girls by blacksmiths, these dolls hold deeper cultural significance. When a woman marries, the doll is adorned with beads, shells, coins, and other trinkets, transforming it into a fertility doll. It is then treated with great care, symbolising the nurturing of new life. With its geometric design and elegant, elongated shape, this doll serves as both a cultural artifact and a striking decorative piece.
The Ndamji Doll is also used to mark homes when the Ndamji people are present, a tradition that has influenced other tribes in the region. Each piece is handcrafted, meaning that no two dolls are identical, making your purchase a truly unique addition to your collection.
