Their dolls consist of a wooded core, wrapped in
cloth then beaded and decorated with buttons,
straw, & coins. Colorful and wonderful these
dolls are more than fertility dolls, they are
also used in the education and socialization
of young girls.
They are carried and talked to.
A Pedi bride may carry a doll to signify her
desire to have many children. She will look
after the doll until the birth of her first child
whom she will name after the doll.
