“Beautiful Handcrafted Piece”

This African fertility doll was beautifully handcrafted. This is not my first time purchasing from Novica, but each time I have been very pleased with all products. Fast shipping and quality items. I would highly recommend purchasing this item and shopping with Novoca.

Very well made and reflects the beauty of untamed Africa. Only suggestion is to include a better provision to hang it.
