Namji Dolls are made from African Rosewood, a legume tree native to the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cameroon, Gabon, and Equatorial Guinea. After the body of the doll is finished, it's covered with knitted textiles made up of multicolored beads and glass pearls.

Each figure has a distinct shape and expression etched on its face.
