Loss and love: Yoruba twin figures from Nigeria 

Awesome channel. Thank you for bringing museums into our homes.

Beautiful. I love how they were portrayed at the ideal age and that the mother rubbed their faces so much that they are worn.

💙💙💙💙 thankyou for such detail research done presented beautifully 💎

Thank you Doctors for this beautiful video about these beautiful objects with so much history and meaning. 💖

I'm stunned at seeing a video as factual and indepth yet succinct in presenting the cultural and spiritual significance of Ere Ibeji. My brother is a twin. I'm subscribing to your channel.

Not to be crude, but are we just gonna ignore the massive pnut on the male figure? That thing is a fifth of his length! African artists have not shied away from showing it off! Proportions definitely do suggest adulthood, is all I'm saying..🤭 I wonder at that abstracted hair, though. There must be a reason they're represented as they are. I'm guessing it relates to spirituality, like a reference to temple domes the artist may have seen, connecting their bodies to a spiritual realm of sorts. I lost a little one last year and definitely don't want an object like this to honor her memory, but I can appreciate why a parent might.

the “prime of life” is between being a child and getting married, not between being a child and getting old LOL
