Item Details

Description

Zwillingsfigur, "ere ibeji"
Yoruba (Oyo), Nigeria (Oke Iho)
Ohne Sockel / without base
Holz. H 28 cm.

Provenienz:
- Galerie Walu, Zürich.
- Schweizer Privatsammlung, Zürich.

Über Zwillinge wurde schon immer gerätselt: Vergöttert oder verteufelt, in Legenden und Mythen, ja sogar in der Astrologie finden wir die Paare als Ausdruck der Faszination, die von ihnen ausgeht. So auch bei den Yoruba im Südwesten Nigerias, welche nachweislich die weltweit höchste Zwillingsgeburtenrate für sich beanspruchen können.

Bei den Yoruba werden Zwillingen besondere übernatürliche Kräfte zugeschrieben. Sie bringen der Familie einerseits Glück, Gesundheit sowie Wohlstand und können andererseits Unheil, Krankheit und Tod abwehren. Aus diesem Grund geniessen sie ein Leben lang besonderes Interesse.

Für die Yoruba verfügen Zwillinge über eine gemeinsame unteilbare Seele. Stirbt einer der Zwillinge, ist das Gleichgewicht dieser Einheit gestört und der überlebende Zwilling folglich gefährdet. Um dies zu vermeiden, wird in einem zeremoniellen Ritual eine Holzfigur, ibeji genannt, zur symbolischen Ersatz-Wohnstätte für die Seele des Verstorbenen geweiht.

Von der Pflege und Verehrung dieses ibeji hängt dann das Wohl des zweiten Zwillings ab. Zugleich wird auch eine weitere Figur gefertigt, die die Seele des zweiten Zwillings beherbergen wird. Sind beide Zwillinge gestorben, werden die Figuren weiterhin sorgfältig behütet und als Erinnerung aufbewahrt, bis sich niemand mehr an die Verstorbenen erinnern kann.
