{"product_id":"asante-akuaba-fertility-doll-hand-carved-wood-sculpture-ghana","title":"Asante Akua'ba Fertility Doll — Hand-Carved Wood Sculpture, Ghana","description":"A classic Akua'ba figure, the celebrated fertility doll of the Asante (Ashanti) people of Ghana. Traditionally carried by women hoping to conceive, or kept as a symbol calling for a beautiful, healthy child, the Akua'ba is defined by its large, flattened disc-shaped head — the Asante ideal of beauty — set on a slender neck, with rows of small pierced holes rimming the head's edge, traditionally used for attaching hair or beads.\u003cbr\u003eThe face is deeply carved with expressive, wide-set eyes, arched brows, and full lips, giving this piece a slightly more weathered, characterful expression than a typical smooth-finish carving. The figure's flared shoulders sit above a tapered, cone-shaped body carved with a diamond and vertical-line motif, adding a graphic decorative element rarely seen on simpler Akua'ba forms. The wood carries a warm, two-tone patina — dark brown with lighter carved highlights — that emphasizes the sculptural detailing throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetails:\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Ghana, Asante (Ashanti) tradition\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 30 cm H x 13 cm W\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Solid hand-carved wood\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Traditional Akua'ba fertility figure with carved diamond motif\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Two-tone dark wood with natural carved highlights\u003cbr\u003eFreestanding — no additional mount needed","brand":"Alobalo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48245736767714,"sku":"ALB-FIG-059","price":78.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/2201\/3922\/files\/6ebaf426-2be4-4efd-9e25-cbfffc27a02d.jpg?v=1787173925","url":"https:\/\/www.alobalo.shop\/products\/asante-akuaba-fertility-doll-hand-carved-wood-sculpture-ghana","provider":"Alobalo ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
