Description from the seller
Ghana
Ewé
Wood and beads
Height: 215mm+180mm+220mm
Width: 85mm+80mm+55mm
Depth: 45mm+50mm+52mm
Left statue: missing left arm.
Center statue: past damage from wood-boring insects treated.
Right statue: cracks at the belly area and on the right side of the face.
Set of 3 fertility statues/dolls; the Ewe worshipped twins.
Contrary to what many collectors or experts think, twin figurines do not function as a couple like ancestral figurines. Each should be understood by the individuality of its meaning.
On the east coast of the Gulf of Benin, a birth is a joyful event that occurs within a context that links life to death. Belief in reincarnation remains strong,
