Ghana Ashanti Doll Kente Cloth

Doll made in Ghana depicting a woman belonging to the Ashanti ethnic group, wearing a dress made of traditional Kente cloth. Most likely missing a pot with pounding stick in front of her of maybe a baby she once was holding in her arms.

Folklore is in the air… uhm… ear!
