Description: Vintage African Namji Wooden carved and wicker basket rattle dollThis is an unusual version of these dolls and is only lightly adorned with carving, beads & shells, but however has the addition of a wicker basket rattle. This type was used by children as playthings. Upon reaching puberty more adornment was added in the form of beads and shells as they were then viewed as fertility symbols.
