Biija Doll

Mossi people, Burkina Faso

9.5 inches, wood

The Biiga dolls were used to prepare girls for motherhood, so the dolls were carried around, washed, fed, and cared for much as a real baby would be. The dolls are passed down from mother to daughter. They are typically carved in a highly abstract manner.
