Old African Wooden and Leather Fertility Female Doll with Glass Handmade Beads. I suspect this is a Fertility Figure and is quite old but I don't know how old. This is a sexed doll/figure of an older female. The three piece outfit and hair is of some type of animal skin/leather with a multitued of different color beads. The earrings are red and white beads, one strand on the right side, two strands on the left. The wooden hands and feet are carved to render toes and fingers as is the nose, ears and explicit female parts. The wood is stained dark. Eyes are nails or metal of some type.

Over the next few months I will be placing a variety of items from my collection up for auction and in my store. Please take the opportunity to view these items and check back time to time. Combined shipping is available at actual shipping cost (and $1.00 additional handling charge) for any additional items purchased.

I enjoy the opportunity of offering for auction the antique, vintage and collectable items that are presented to the eBay buyers and hope the experience is mutual. I am not an expert nor intend to present that I know everything about items listed but will make every attempt to provide an accurate representation of the item being offered. By the nature of technology available years ago, items may have, when new, factory flaws, bubbles, and inconsistencies, ect. Antiques and collectables often fall into the catagory of being used and can be easily marred (some call it character) by the ravages of time such as normal wear to surfaces, flecks in the glaze, rubs and barely visible scratches. If easily evident, the flaw will be pointed out in written word and visually if my camera cooperates. Because I am not an expert, please take the opportunity to ask any clarifying questions before you place a bid. Sales are final except in the rare instance that the item is clearly not as described. If a return is warranted, the item must be sent back as received prior to receipt of payment in same manner sent.

I will no longer require insurance unless the item is fragile (glass, ceramic, porcelain), but if you choose not to insure the item, loss and damage will not be covered. PayPal is preferred but money orders, personal checks (will hold up to 10 days to cash until item is sent). I make every effort to describe each item placed on auction but if you have a question please ask it before you bid. I work full time so it may take a day or so to get back to you at the longest. Items are used but I will note if t is flaws that deflect condition. Items are only returnable if not as described. Please notify me within 2 days of receipt and return within 5 days of receipt. If it is lost or damaged and you are insured, I will assist you as needed to file the claim. I've not had any problem with this happening but one never knows. Thank-you for your interest in this item and watch for many upcoming auctions that I will follow with in the next few months.
