Description from the seller
Ghana
Ewé
Wood and pearls
Height: 215mm + 180mm + 220mm
Width: 85mm + 80mm + 55mm
Depth: 45mm + 50mm + 52mm
Left statue: missing left arm.
Statue in the center: previous damage caused by wood-boring insects.
Right statue: cracks on the stomach and the right side of the face.
Set of 3 fertility statues/dolls, the Ewé revered twins.
Contrary to what many collectors or experts believe, twin statuettes do not function as a pair like ancestor statuettes. Each should be understood individually in terms of its significance.
On the east coast of the Gulf of Benin, a birth is a happy event that occurs within the context that links life to death. Belief in reincarnation remains strong.
Fast and secure shipping. Packages are sent with a tracking number. Delivery within 1 to 3 days in France with Chronopost, 2 to 5 days across the European Union with Chronopost International. Delivery via Colissimo International in the rest of Europe and worldwide
