This kind of dolls, called Di Kori (son of bone) are given by the head of the family to his daughter, who often personalizes them with textiles or to decorate beads. Some ethnic groups use these dolls to promote fertility, so the woman will take care of it as if it were a real child. After birth, this fetish becomes a toy for the child.
