Descubra la tasación y los precios de esta y más obras de arte africano en Africartmarket. A Pair Of Ere Ibeji Idols, Mid 20th century



Descripción : Pair of carved wooden twin figures from the Yoruba of Nigeria, West Africa. Wood idols with well handled surface patina and indigo pigment accent. The Dolls are adorned in a beadded sash. The Yoruba have the highest twin birth rate in the world and coincidentally a cult of twins developed in which the twins were now seen to be minor deities who blessed families with good fortune. The death of either of the twins or both is thought to be calamitous for the family. It must be remedied by appeasing the soul of the deceased child through the carving of a figure put in the care of the mother who will treat the small wooden figure as thought it were the deceased twin and alive. Attention to their ibeji also ensures a peaceful and prosperous existence on earth and prevents the deceased twin from calling their living sibling to the spirit world.
