Ndebele
Dolls

Mopani Crafts is a manufacturer and wholesaler of traditional and contemporary Ndebele dolls.

Ndebele dolls are renowned for their beauty and detail. They are an intricate part of Ndebele culture, and traditionally the dolls and bead patterns have meanings that are linked to Ndebele rituals and cultural rites of passage. The dolls are made by the women in the tribe, and are used or given as gifts for initiation, engagement, marriage and fertility. The beadwork on the dolls is representative of the clothing and beadwork worn by the Ndebele during and after these important ceremonies, rites and rituals.
