Akuaba dolls are wooden carved fertility dolls and are a general symbol of good luck and health. They are known the best from the Ashanti people from Ghana. Traditionally a woman would wear the Akuaba on her back hoping to conceive a child or that her current child would be born healthy. They have a large round head and are very popular around the world. And if the doll was not in use it would still be washed and taken care of by the owner.
