Beautifully feminine, an akuaba fertility doll symbolizes the force of tradition. In Ghana, such figures are believed to assist a woman who wants to conceive a baby. Abdulai Osman Adam carves the lovely doll that also represents beauty and wisdom and adorns it with embossed aluminum. On the forehead, he depicts an Ashanti ottoman throne with gye nyame, an adinkra symbol meaning I fear none except God.
