Twin figure
This Ibeji figure is characterised by four lancet-shaped notches on the cheeks (Oyo Abaja variation). It is carved with additional scars on the breasts, which hang far down. The relatively large ears are set far back on the head. The eyelids, which have lashes carved along their entire length, extend over half the eye. The female genitalia are clearly visible. The figure as a whole has a stocky appearance. Author: Michael Schönhuth, Translation: Timothy Connell
