Fausto Polo Encyclopedia of the Ibeji

The Encyclopedia of Ibeji is an indispensable resource for collectors, whether novice or experienced, guiding them in identifying the places of origin of the Ibeji statues. The work features over 500 photographs of these sculptures, categorized by their provenance.

The goal is to provide a vast selection of Ibeji photos, detailing for each piece its place of origin, its degree of rarity, and, if known, the workshop of the artisan who sculpted it. The encyclopedia presents 510 photographs, showcasing Ibeji alone or in pairs.

An unparalleled wealth of iconography and many unpublished styles not found in other works on the subject are the two reasons why this book is essential for you.
