Description: A female twin figure made out of wood. This miniature is used as a doll among the Ewe people. The Ewe people of Ghana celebrate the birth of twins as a good omen. Twins known as Venovi, lead a life of parallel experiences as they are fed, bathed, and similarly dressed. However if one of the twins dies a Venovi figure is purchased to represent the deceased twin and is equally maintained as though alive, being washed and fed. Like the well-known Ibeji of the Yoruba that represent the same idea of portraying the deceased twin in a sculptural form, Ewe dolls are shown as adults and represent deceased twins. They are delightful miniature carvings and have a place in any collection for their carving and presence and for what they represent. This statue is also called Ewe Doll, Venovi, Ghana/Togo, African Carving. The dimensions are 8 inches high, 3 inches wide, and 2 inches thick Note; Pictures are exact representation of the item
