J.
Arrencivia (apprentice of the late Cosme Guio), Los Ibeyi ("The Twins"), articulated
figures of hand carved wood, nails, and elastic cord, each 8 1/4" tall (can
be adjusted to various positions), Havana, 2000. These twin figures, the "children"
of Chango, are produced in the tradition of pre- twentieth century articulated
figures, found in "folk art" throughout the world. The figures accompany the
secrets of the Ibeyi, which are received as an adimu (auxiliary) orishas, according
to the requirements of a priest's particular "path."
