Ibeji pair Yoruba culture Nigeria Provenance: - ex Leon Underwood, United Kingdom - ex Stother & Trice, London, UK Ojo pair from an old collection of Leon Underwood (British artist, primarily known as a sculptor, printmaker and painter, he was also an influential teacher and promotor of African art) These carvings are called ere ibeji (‘ere’ means sacred image, ‘ibi’, means born and ‘eji’ means two).
