Akuaba

Akuaba is a traditional wooden doll that originates from the Ashanti people of Ghana. It is typically carved from wood and is characterized by its unique, abstract features, including a flat face, a large forehead, and a stylized representation of the body. Akuaba dolls are often associated with fertility and motherhood; they are used by women who wish to conceive or promote fertility. The doll serves both a practical and spiritual purpose.
