African Ibedji Statue Twin Male Yoruba Ghana Ibedji Male Statue

This is a Male Yoruba Ere Ibeji Adorned Doll with Facial Scarification and a Stylized Coiffure that comes from the Yoruba Tribal People of Nigeria and Ghana. Among the Yoruba, who have the highest rate of twins in the world, the arrival of twins is seen as both a blessing and an omen because of the high mortality rate. If a twin dies, an image dedicated to Ibeji, the deity of twins, is carved to serve as the earthly abode for the spirit of the deceased. These dolls would be a lovely addition to your collection or home.
