A beautiful male and female ibeji pair with brightly colored beaded necklaces.

About Yoruba Ibeji Figures
The Yoruba people of Nigeria have the highest rate for twin births, about 4.5%. Twins are believed to possess special powers and share a single soul. Good fortune is thought to come to those who honor them. The ibeji figure was created to honor a deceased twin or set of twins. If one child dies, a single sculpture is made and cared for by the mother, then eventually, the surviving twin. If both children die, then two identical sculptures are made. The figures are cared for as if they are living since it is believed that their spirit resides inside the figure itself. Regular washings and offering of food is necessary. Some figures are adorned with beads and jewelry by their mother in reflection of her love and affection.
