Beautiful Female Figure, Ibeji Period Wood, original brown patina, signs of wear, red and black glass paste beads. Yoruba, Nigeria. H: 27 cm Provenance: Yves Créhalet Collection, Paris. This female figure demonstrates masterful craftsmanship, with particular attention paid to the hairstyle, which consists of fine braids gathered into a bun. Her necklace of red and black beads completes her adornment; the red color evokes Shango, the god of thunder and protector of twins. General bibliography: Hélène Joubert and Xavier Richer, *Ibeji, Divine Twins*, Paris, Somogy Éditions d’Art, 2016.
