Vintage Ashanti Akuaba Style Wooden Fertility Figure
type: Product
description: Believed to date from the late 20th century, this hand-carved Akuaba-style wooden figure is inspired by the traditional fertility dolls of the Ashanti people of Ghana. With its oversized circular head, stylised facial features and geometric decoration, it makes a striking sculptural statement while celebrating one of Africa's most recognisable artistic forms. Finished in a black painted and stained surface, the figure has developed an attractive aged patina over time, with areas of natural paint wear revealing the lighter timber beneath. Designed as a free-standing decorative sculpture, it works beautifully on a bookshelf, console table, sideboard or display cabinet, adding warmth, texture and global character to an interior. Whether appreciated for its cultural inspiration or its strong sculptural silhouette, this is a distinctive vintage decorative piece with plenty of visual impact. Condition: Vintage/preloved condition with visible age and wear. The painted finish has small areas of rubbing, scratches and paint loss revealing lighter timber beneath. Structurally sound and displays beautifully. Size: Approx 23cm tall x 10.5cm wide. Collector Note: This piece forms part of our Sculptural Décor Curated Collection, featuring carefully selected objects chosen for their striking form, texture, and visual presence. 👉 Explore the full collection 👉 Learn more about the collection
