Standing with open arms, this doll symbolizes fertility according to the Ashanti people of Ghana. Her face shows scarifications known as donkor, and she serves as a proud emblem of tradition. By Winfred Korley, the image boasts beaded jewelry. "Donkor is a tribal mark given to protect a child from evil spirits in Ghana," the artisan says. "Other ethnic groups protect children with these tribal marks, yet others identify them with donkor."

Beautiful piece of functional art. It is displayed in my entry hall, with African artifacts I have collected over the years, and never fails to elicit comments from people entering my home. I love that it doesnt really look too new, so it fits in with the theme of older items. Too, the size is perfect.
