Owned by Mossi girls and women, small figures like these 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. Several are embellished with additional objects, no. 3 has a tight leather covering.
Despite their appearance most of these dolls show no evidence of age or use and were probably made to be sold.
