Ex-British collection of African art African statuette decorated with necklaces of colored beads constituting the protective abiku adornments. Sculpted according to the instructions of Ifa transmitted to the diviner, the babalawo, the Ibedji statuettes played the role of substitute for the death of the child. The statuettes are then treated as the missing child would have been. It is the mother who must take care of it; she anoints them with oil and feeds them regularly. If it disappears, the remaining twin takes over. Considered to be much more than a physical representation of a loved one. The Ibedji statues influence the life of the family, which is why the latter continues to pray to them and offer them worship and libations. Mahogany satin patina, drying cracks..
