編號 85465477
Ibeji in the language of the Yoruba means twin. Their religious tradition hold that both twins have one, joint inseparable soul. Because of this, if one of the twins should die, the other ones life is immediately jeopardised. To bring back the unity of the souls a wood carver is commissioned to make a small statue of wood, to provide a home for the lost soul. Ibeji figures belong to the most cherished objects in art collections.
Prov.: the shown figure was part of the famous Yoruba collection of Mrs Ursula van Heys- Voorhuis (formerly attached to the Africa museum of Nijmegen). She also opened her own gallery in 1970s.
The figure was examined by Yoruba expert Hans Witte and determined as Oro.
According to the Yoruba catalogue of Fausto Polo these figures should be considered as rare (see attached photographs).
Receipt available.
