Appel\u00e9es Venavi par les Ew\u00e9s, Hoho par les Fons et Ibeji par les Yorubas, ces statuettes repr\u00e9sentent des jumeaux. On les sculpte en effet apr\u00e8s la mort pr\u00e9matur\u00e9e d\u2019un jumeau.<\/p>\n
Ce sont donc des images spirituelles d\u2019enfants morts. En Afrique de l\u2019Ouest o\u00f9 les naissances g\u00e9mellaires sont quatre fois plus \u00e9lev\u00e9es qu\u2019en Europe, les jumeaux sont consid\u00e9r\u00e9s comme de v\u00e9ritables demi-dieux.<\/p>\n
D\u2019autre part, les jumeaux ne partageraient qu\u2019une \u00e2me pour deux. C\u2019est pourquoi, lorsqu\u2019il arrive que l\u2019un d\u2019entre eux d\u00e9c\u00e8de, il faut produire une statuette pour que celui qui est rest\u00e9 en vie ne soit pas attir\u00e9 par le disparu dans le monde invisible.<\/p>\n
La m\u00e8re nourrit, lave, caresse alors cette statuette comme si c\u2019\u00e9tait le deuxi\u00e8me jumeau. On dit que la naissance de jumeaux am\u00e8ne la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9.<\/p>\n
