Bamun sculpture

This Bamun doll is a symbolic cultural object native to Cameroon, rich in decoration with pearls and cowries, meaning luck and prosperity. The torso is covered in leather, adding distinct texture and contrast. Pearls suspended at the bottom of the face suggest a masculine representation, typical in the crafts of this region of Cameroon. Made of ceramic, leather and pearls, this unique doll is available in various sizes and serves as both a talisman and an artistic expression, reflecting the traditions and identity of the Bamun people. This doll is a piece of art from the middle of the 20th century.
