Linga Koba Doll - 40 inch
Item Number: ANL40
Handmade in South Africa by Women of the Ndebele tribe. Linga Koba, 40 inch. Traditional doll wearing the traditional dress of the Linga Koba.
Handmade in South Africa by Women of the Ndebele tribe. Every four years, hundreds of Ndebele boys spend two winter months in a secret place in the mountains undergoing the Wela, their initiation from boyhood to manhood . During this time the mothers wear Linga Koba, strips of bead work that stretch from their headdresses to the ground, to show that their sons are away in the mountains. Linga Koba translated means long tears, tears of sadness from losing a boy and tears of joy for gaining a man.
Items are individually handcrafted so sizes and colors may vary slightly from picture shown.
