Pair of Antique Yoruba Ibetji Nigerian Carved Figures

Description

Pair of Yoruba Ibeji Nigerian Carved Figures.  Excellent Detailed Carving.  Better than others found
in my research.  Nine Inches tall.  These are antique statues acquired from the relatives of a deceased,
collector of African figures, masks and etc.
The condition issues are not unexpected for the age of the two figures.  The male figure has a crack
from the top of his head to his waist band at his back.  The female figure has a crack behind her left and right ear. There is also
a piece broken from the back of her base.  Fortunately, no one has tried to repair these condition issues.  The crack in the male is
due to shrinkage of the wood.  Please refer to the photographs.
Please compare the additional detail to other available figures. Apparently the carver was more
talented and concerned about the realistic appearance of the figures.
