African fertility doll sculpture red crest tribal female figure hand carved wood rustic baule decor ancestral statue gift for her art-G5527

This carved African fertility figure features a striking red crest and tribal detailing — a meaningful symbol of ancestral strength and beauty.

Cultural/Design Context:
Fertility dolls among the Baule are crafted with intention and symbolism. They represent ideal beauty and maternal power, often associated with blessings for women and protection of new life. The tall coiffure reflects traditional ceremonial hairstyles, while body carvings mimic scarification rites of status.

Visual Details:
The figure is elongated and feminine, carved from warm-toned wood and mounted on a black flared base. A red-and-black painted crest rises from the head with incised geometric patterns. She has a long neck, stylized chest, and belly scarification. Her face is serene, with almond-shaped eyes and simplified features.
