    MALE STATUTE called Ibeji
    Yoruba culture, Nigeria
    First half of the 20th century
    Wood, pigments, nails, aluminum and glass beads
    H. 30; L. 8.5 cm

    Monoxyle male anthropomorphic statuette standing with individualized feet, resting on a stepped circular base that retains some traces of red ochre pigments. His arms, stylized into two large arches, rest on his upper thighs. Her fingers are finely incised, as are her phallus, torso and protruding umbilicus, adorned with radiating body scarification. She wears a choker of translucent white and red glass beads. An ornament of fine wooden discs encircles her waist. Her stylized face is adorned with geometric scarification incised into her lower cheeks, her eyes feature iron and aluminum nail pupils, and her pigment-blackened shell headdress is entirely incised with vertical grooves.

    Shiny honey-matted wood.

    Ibeji statuettes work in pairs: Taiwo and Kehinde are twins. These sculptures represent them. They are considered important figures in everyday life. Kept on an altar when not worn by women, they receive the same attention as the living: food, bathing, prayers and clothing.
