Statuette of a standing male figure.
This type of figure is called "Ibeji" and was used in the cult of twins.
Wood with beautiful patina of use, covered very lightly with red pigments on the body and blue at the level of the cap. It is also adorned with a necklace and a pearl belt.
Ibeji surprising by the presence of sculpted trousers and numerous scarifications.
2 nails are stuck in the eyes.
