Carved according to the indications of the Ifa transmitted to the diviner, the babalawo, the Ibedji statuettes played the role of substitute in the death of the child. The statues are then treated as the missing child would have been. It is the mother who must take care of them; she anoints them with oil and feeds them regularly. If she disappears, it is the remaining twin who takes over. Considered to be much more than a physical representation of a loved one, linked to the cult of Shango, the ibedji statues are supposed to influence the life and prosperity of the family, and the latter continues to address prayers to them on domestic altars by means of ritual libations. Brilliant mahogany-colored patina, kaolin residue, erosions on a base.
