Description
Namji dolls are traditionally carved from wood and then decorated with beads, cowrie shells, metal, and other decorative elements. Colorful glass beads are often used in complex patterns to decorate the dolls.
These dolls have a stylized human form, often female. The proportions are accentuated and abstracted, giving them a unique aesthetic quality.
Originally, Namji dolls were used as fertility symbols. Young women often wore these dolls to ensure fertility and healthy offspring. They were also considered protective amulets and used in various ritual occasions.
In addition to their role in fertility rituals, these dolls are also valuable cultural objects that reflect the artistic skill and spiritual beliefs of the Namji people. Today, they are also valued as works of art and collectibles.
The handcrafted Namji dolls are not only ritual objects but also decorative works of art that are collected and exhibited worldwide. They are known for their precise craftsmanship and symbolic meaning, which is deeply rooted in Namji tradition.
Ngonja: “The Fertile One” – A name that reflects the symbolic meaning of fertility and growth.
