First edition. Unpaginated, chiefly coloured plates, pictorial card wrappers - paperback, a very good copy.

From the introduction: Many of the public and private collections around South Africa contain examples of what have come to be called fertility dolls, small and usually anthropomorphic forms fabricated by women with a believed ceremonial use in aspects of the maturation and identity of women. It is within the definition that the selection of material for the exhibition and the volume is made.
