This is a Male Yoruba Ere Ibeji Adorned Twin Dolls with Facial Scarification and a Stylized Coiffure that comes from the Yoruba Tribal People of Nigeria. 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. Among the Yoruba, twins have special powers, much like the orisha, and are to be treated with respect throughout their lives. This doll would be a wonderful addition to your collection or home.
