<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 11431679, member: 8267&quot;]I have been pondering this one. The type of beads and the cowries say Africa. But the carving is very crude, and the distinctive, flattened shape of the head is not a form I recognize. It is somewhat reminiscent of the shape of Asante Akuaba dolls. There are several groups in the West African region around Ghana and Burkina Faso that make &quot;fertility&quot; dolls in different styles. This <i>might</i> be one of those. Or it might just be a simple piece of tourist art.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
