Description
An account of the resource
Chilkat blanket woven from mountain-goat wool and yellow-cedar bark Tsimshian style, British Columbia The yarns were died black, yellow and green by boiling in solutions of urine, hemlock, copper and certain species of lichen, and were woven into complex designs with the aid of a painted pattern board. The blankets were worn by persons of rank of both sexes and were placed as funerary robes on the graves of dead chiefs. The designs often defy interpretation, but this blanket belongs to the 'diving whale' class

An account of the resource
Shirt of chain mail, composed of chain armour and decorated with leather bands. The armour and weapons of West African kingdoms and Sudanic states were very like those used during the Middle Ages and provided little protection from the rifles and machine guns of the colonial powers. The cluster of amulet cases on the helmet, containing portions of the Koran, gave supernatural protection to the wearer.

Description
An account of the resource
Ibeji, female statuette, standing. If a twin dies the death is marked by the commissioning of a carved wooden figurine from a sculptor. Known as an 'ibeji', the figurine is of the same sex as the dead twin and is treated by the mother with all the love and respect that the twin would have received if alive, including being fed, washed and adorned. This ibeji is the larger of two collected from Nigeria, early 20th century. Detail of feet, hair, genitals, hair in topknot. On a small stand. The photograph shows a male and a female ibeji. They were collected together from Nigeria in the early 20th century. They are probably not a pair, but they illustrate the similarity of form although they have been carefully sculpted as portraits of either sex, with the hair, face, genitals clearly depicted. The female is taller than the male. The ibeji are the most common carved religious images found in northern Nigeria, and represent the twin-spirits known as 'orisha', although not in the same sense as the other named ones.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Among the Yoruba of northern Nigeria twins are common and they are regarded with affection and their birth is a good omen. If a twin dies the death is marked by the commissioning from a sculptor of a carved wooden figurine, of the same sex as the dead twin, known as an 'ibeji'. The ibeji is treated by the mother with all the love and respect that the twin would have received if alive, including being fed washed and adorned. This duty is passed on to the surviving sibling when old enough, and who will continue with the rtual throughout the rest of his or her life. The figurine is kept in the corner of the house. This shows a male and a female ibeji. They were collected together from Nigeria in the early 20th century. They are probably not a pair, but they illustrate the similarity of form although they have been carefully sculpted as portraits of either sex, with the hair, face, genitals clearly depicted. The female is taller than the male. The ibeji are the most common carved religious images found in northern Nigeria, and represent the twin-spirits known as 'orisha', although not in the same sense as the other named ones.
