African Asante fertility wood carving, early 20th Century.
Among the Asante and other Akan peoples, a legendary woman, Akua, gave birth to a beautiful daughter after carrying a small figure as advised by a priest. As a result, Asante women carry these figures to insure the birth of beautiful and healthy children. (Size: See second photo for measurement.)
