Pair of Ibedji Yoruba, Nigeria - Lot 104
Pair of Ibedji Yoruba, Nigeria Wood, pigments, beads, metal H: 24 cm / 25.5 cm A pair of female statuettes distinguished by beautiful shades of patina: clear and lustrous on the head, reddish on the neck and arms, and thicker, solidified, on the lower part of the body. The faces, adorned with numerous deeply incised scarifications, are animated by large eyes with metallic pupils. Hairstyles are fan-shaped, with braided plaits pulled back. The ornamentation - pearl necklaces worn around the neck and waist - testifies to the importance of ornamentation in these effigies, which are both domestic and spiritual.
