Akuaba Ashanti fertility dolls are worn by pregnant women who should not lay their eyes on a deformed being or object for fear that their children may look like them. Conversely by looking at these expressions of idealized beauty they are supposed to promote the beauty of their offspring. In fact the rite of Akuaba Ashanti dolls is more complex. The doll having to be carried certain days, sometimes deposited on the family altar, the future mother also having to absorb potions and to bathe or wash with infusions.
