RARE BIG African Ndebele Linga Koba Doll Traditional Beaded Ceremonial 20\" Tall:
$100.00
This doll is special because it is HUGE and we usually see these dolls as souvenires only a few inches tall. THIS ONE IS 20 INCHES TALL. These colorful beaded dolls are from the Ndebele people in Southern Africa. One of the smallest tribes of the region, the Ndebele are noted for their brightly colored clothing and bead work.The Ndebele, pronounced In-de-bey-lay, women of Southern Africa create dolls with colorfuldesigns.
The Ndebele Linga Koba Doll is important for boys because every four years, hundreds of them spend two winter months in a secret place in the mountains undergoing the wela ceremony marking the passage from boyhood to manhood. During this time the mothers of the boys wear linga koba, strips of beadwork that stretch from their headdresses, to show that their sons are away to the mountains turning into men. So the Linga koba translated means the “long tears” that the mother\'s goes through in losing their sons but tears of joy at gaining a man.
