拍品資料及來源
Portées dans le dos par les jeunes filles et par les femmes Ashanti pour favoriser la venue de nombreux enfants, les poupées de fertilité akwaba, arborant « une tête fort belle, un large visage, un long cou gracieux, des rondeurs féminines et des épaules attrayantes » (Falgayrettes-Leveau et Owusu-Sarpong, Ghana, hier et aujourd’hui, 2003, p. 50), incarnent les qualités physiques que l’on souhaite au futur enfant. Au sein de ce corpus parmi les plus classiques de l’art africain, cette œuvre se distingue par l’épure de ses formes, vierges de tout décor, et par la radicale stylisation de ses traits : la bouche et le nez prolongeant gracieusement le cou annelé, l’arcade sourcilière habitant l’ampleur de la large tête ronde.
