约鲁巴人民在世界上拥有最高的双胞胎出生率之一。因此，双胞胎被视为非凡的存在，由雷神桑戈保护。\n他们被相信能够为家族带来巨额财富，或者给不敬他们的人带来厄运。\n在人间被视为强大的灵体，双胞胎去世时会以雕刻的纪念像来纪念他们。\n这些雕像被称为 ere ibeji（字面意思为 ere：神圣的形象； ibi：出生； eji：二），它们成为通往已逝个体精神的入口点。\n母亲对这些雕像进行仪式照料，给它们洗浴、穿戴、装饰并喂养它们。\n如此每日的照料使其表面形成独特的包浆。\nEre ibeji 通常以成年的脸部特征来表现其主体，且常以精致的发型为顶饰。\n来源：旧美国收藏

Yoruba peoples have one of the highest incidents of twin births in the world. As a result, twins are regarded as extraordinary beings protected by Sango, the deity of thunder. They are believed to be capable of bestowing immense wealth upon their families or misfortune to those who do not honor them. Powerful spirits in life, twins are honored with carved memorial figures when they die. These figures, known as ere ibeji (literally meaning ere: sacred image; ibi: born; eji: two), remain a point of access to the spirit of the departed individual. The mother provides ritual care to the figures, bathing, dressing, adorning, and feeding them. Such daily handling is responsible for giving their surface its distinctive patina. Ere ibeji invariably represent their subjects with mature adult physiognomies, and are often crowned with elaborate hairdos.
