Owned by Mossi girls and women, these small figures that we call "dolls" could function both as a toy for a young girl or as an object to promote the fertility of a woman. All show some variation of the special coiffures worn by Mossi women. Masks and headdresses take several major forms.Mossi doors, like those of the Igbo, are abstract, but have doorlocks similar to the Dogon and Bamana but more massive.
