Pair of Yoga Orile Males

$3,950.00

This pair of male Ibeji is distinguished by their intricately carved knickerbockers, each featuring a matching triangular motif centered on the frontal side of the base. The heads are sculpted in a striking, near-triangular form, characterized by inclined eyes and a sharp, crested coiffure. Both the torso and arms are carved with a muscularity that conveys a palpable sense of force and power.
