Rare paire de statuettes Ibeji f\u00e9minines, se tenant debout sur des jambes courtes, les mains sur les hanches, les corps de proportions puissantes enti\u00e8rement recouverts de scarifications. Les visages sont marqu\u00e9s par des traits \u00e9pais, yeux globuleux en losange aux paupi\u00e8res mi-closes, nez large, l\u00e8vres charnues et scarifications sur les joues. Sur les hautes coiffes en mitre joliment sculpt\u00e9es, subsistent des pigments de couleur bleu.\u00a0 Magnifique patine ancienne, sombre et brillante avec traces de camwood.
\nLes jumeaux, enfants du dieu tonnerre Shango, sont \u00e0 la fois craints et porteurs de chance. Au cas o\u00f9 l\u2019un des deux \u2013 ou les deux \u2013 jumeaux d\u00e9c\u00e9derait, les parents devront faire fabriquer une effigie ibeji<\/i> repr\u00e9sentant un enfant, symboliquement figur\u00e9 sous des traits adultes et qui accompagnera l\u2019enfant rest\u00e9 vivant. La statuette, ou r\u00e9side l\u2019esprit du jumeau d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9, fera partie int\u00e9grante de la vie quotidienne et recevra alors les m\u00eames attentions que son jumeau. Il est lav\u00e9, soign\u00e9, huil\u00e9, nourri, v\u00eatu et entour\u00e9 de chants et de pri\u00e8res. Il est plac\u00e9 debout le jour sur l\u2019autel, ou port\u00e9 par les femmes et allong\u00e9 la nuit. Leur coiffure est r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement enduite du bleu indigo, et leur corps est rougi par les pigments de bois rouge.<\/p>\n
