  
 Artist Hassan Ssebunya of the Buganda tribal culture from Uganda hand-carved this traditional fertility doll sculpture from a single piece of Mahogany wood. This statue is an ancient symbol of fertility for the Bugandan people. These fertility dolls have been presented to new couples upon their marriage as a way to help encourage and bring them good luck and health in making a new family. However, it was also customary that a fertility doll such as this one could be used as a means to bring spiritual assistance to a woman or couple who are having difficulties in starting their family. Whether you are giving it as a gift to a couple starting a family or just admire it for its cute baby appearance, this is a unique piece of African art special for its rarity and traditional heritage.
This Traditional Fertility Doll of Carved Mahogany measures 12 inches Tall and 4 inches Wide.
