This beautiful vintage Yoruba Ibeji figure is a beautiful example of the rich cultural traditions of the Yoruba community. Ibeji figures are often made in honor of deceased twins, who are considered very special in the Yoruba culture. Each figure is unique, hand carved from a solid piece of wood and decorated with colorful beads, emphasizing the connection to the life force and spiritual significance of twins.
The colours red, white and green are often symbolic in Yoruba culture and can have different meanings such as fertility, protection and harmony. This particular figurine, dating from the 1970s-1980s, is not only a work of art but also an important cultural artefact that reflects the traditions and beliefs of the Yoruba people.
