West Africa, Nigeria, Yoruba peoples, ca. early 20th century CE. A male Ere Ibeji figure, standing at attention with arms at sides, hand carved to represent the male member of a pair of deceased twins, with a wide-eyed expressive visage, adorned with incised markings on the face representing scarification, beautiful indigo blue pigment on the elaborately delineated coiffure, and red pigment on the body. Size: 11.625" H (29.5 cm)According to the Yoruba, twin effigies are believed to influence the daily lives of family members. As such, they are traditionally honored with prayers and libations. The Yoruba have one of the highest number of twin births in the world, four times higher than in Europe, for example. Ibeji are known to the Yoruba as two people who share one soul. If one of the human twins dies, whether as a child or an adult, the surviving human twin is considered to have little hope of living with only half a soul. Further, the deceased's soul must have a place to reside. This example boasts a darkened, worn, and smooth surface which conveys the devotion and respect to the Ibeji spirit. "Ultimately, the surface of an Ibeji measures the object's spiritual value to the caregiver. The response of the Yoruba mothers and caregivers is primarily personal and spiritual, not aesthetic. Even an Ibeji carved by a mediocre artisan can develop a surface reflecting great efficacy to the believer. The wood is worked, fed, oiled, and clothed not so much to fulfill an aesthetic ideal but to fulfill a human need "....taken from 'Ibeji Surface Analysis' by Charles Bordogna, in 'Surfaces' ed. Kahan, Page, Imperato, 2009 by Indiana Univ. Press. In summary, the Yoruba have traditionally had a high rate of multiple births and have always valued twins as special. When a twin dies, a figure dedicated to Ibeji, the deity of twins, is carved to be the earthly abode of the spirit of that twin. The figure is then nurtured by the mother and/or surviving twin. Provenance: Ex-Adeon Gallery, Chicago, IL, acquired prior to 1970. Condition: Expected surface wear with stable age cracks and nice lustrous patina. Missing metal eyes.

West Africa, Yoruba culture, Ibeji, ca. early 20th c. CE. A matching pair of deceased female twin figures, known as Ibeji, most likely from Osogbo or the Igbomina region of Yoruba land, carved from an inherently beautiful wood, showing strong detailing particularly in their elaborate coiffures, the scarification marks on their cheeks, breasts, and abdominal regions, and expressive facial features, generous red pigment remains on their bodies, and one wears a strand of black glass beads around her neck, wrist, and ankle. Size: each ~ 11.875" H (30.2 cm)The Yoruba have one of the highest number of twin births in the world, four times higher than in Europe, for example. Ibeji are known to the Yoruba as two people who share one soul. If one of the human twins dies, whether as a child or an adult, the surviving human twin is considered to have little hope of living with only half a soul. Further, the deceased's soul must have a place to reside. Wooden figures, like this pair, keep the souls of the twins together. When a matched pair of twins is made, it is an indication that both human twins have died. This pair shows darkened, worn, and smooth surfaces which convey the devotion and respect to the Ibeji spirit. "Ultimately, the surface of an Ibeji measures the object's spiritual value to the caregiver. The response of the Yoruba mothers and caregivers is primarily personal and spiritual, not aesthetic. Even an Ibeji carved by a mediocre artisan can develop a surface reflecting great efficacy to the believer.

When a twin dies, a figure dedicated to Ibeji, the deity of twins, is carved to be the earthly abode of the spirit of that twin. The figure is then nurtured by the mother and/or the surviving twin. In this case, we have a matching female pair of twins. It bears repeating that one should take note of the painstaking attention to details, from their elaborately carved coiffures to the scarification marks on their faces and abdominal regions, not to mention the glass bead necklace adorning one of the figures. Beads were a sign of status and wealth among the Yoruba. A very special pair, quite well cared for! Provenance: Ex-Adeon Gallery, Chicago, IL, acquired prior to 1970. Condition: Expected surface wear with nice lustrous, dark patina. Liberal remains of red cinnabar on bodies. Missing metal eyes. Stable age cracks.

West Africa, Nigeria, Yoruba peoples, ca. early 20th century CE. A female Ere Ibeji twin figure, hand carved to represent a deceased twin, standing with her hands placed upon her hips, upon an integral round platform. The Ibeji is nude with prominent breasts and scarification marks accentuating her womb. Her visage is delineated with large almond-shaped eyes with metal pupils, a wide nose, incised full lips, and scarification marks on her cheeks. Her upswept coiffure of incised locks is arranged in two main sections with a central crest and triangular sections above the ears - all beautifully embellished with organic indigo blue pigment. According to the Yoruba, twin effigies are believed to influence the daily lives of family members. As such, they are traditionally honored with prayers and libations. A very fine example with a nice patina. Size: 3.125" W x 12.125" H (7.9 cm x 30.8 cm)For context: The Yoruba are known for their carved sculptures of deceased male and female twin figures, known as Ibeji. The Yoruba have one of the highest number of twin births in the world, four times higher than in Europe, for example. Ibeji are known to the Yoruba as two people who share one soul. If one of the human twins dies, whether as a child or an adult, the surviving human twin is considered to have little hope of living with only half a soul. Further, the deceased's soul must have a place to reside. Hence, an ibeji figure is created. Provenance: Ex-Adeon Gallery, Chicago, IL, acquired prior to 1970.

West Africa, Yoruba culture, Ibeji, ca. early 20th century. A nice example of a deceased female twin figure, known as an Ibeji, most likely from Osogbo or the Igbomina region of Yorubaland (spanning Nigeria, Togo, and Benin). The Yoruba have one of the highest number of twin births in the world, four times higher than in Europe, for example. Size: 3.2" W x 11.75" H (8.1 cm x 29.8 cm) Ibeji are known to the Yoruba as two people who share one soul. If one of the human twins dies, whether as a child or an adult, the surviving human twin is considered to have little hope of living with only half a soul. When a twin dies, a figure dedicated to Ibeji, the deity of twins, is carved to be the earthly abode of the spirit of that twin. Wooden figures, like this one, are created to keep the souls of the twins together. This female figure shows darkened, worn, and smooth surfaces which convey the devotion and respect to the Ibeji spirit. Take note of the painstaking attention to details, particularly the elaborately carved coiffure painted with organic indigo violet-blue pigment, the bold facial features, and the beaded jewelry at neck and wrists.

Pre-Columbian, Bolivia, Tiahuanaco (Tiwanaku), Middle Horizon, ca. 800 to 1100 CE. A wonderful basalt carving of a stylized feline - probably a puma based on similar ones from Tiahuanaco - colored with cinnabar and decorated with incised lines and small round seed-bead-like turquoise insets on its chest and nostrils. The puma stands with his head up, mouth slightly open, with canine teeth clearly carved out. The ears are back and the tail is flat along the back. Size: 5.9" L x 2.3" W x 4.8" H (15 cm x 5.8 cm x 12.2 cm)Tiahuanaco stone carving is often like this, with densely ornate incised designs. This is a style associated with the Middle Horizon in the Andes, a fascinating time period of new urban capitals in the highlands of Peru (the Huari/Wari) and near Lake Titicaca in Bolivia (Tiahuanaco). As the cities grew, this iconography spread. It was first documented by archaeologists at Tiahuanaco (and called Coast Tiahuanaco and Epigonal), but because that city seems to have been the center of a vast empire, the artistic style has since been found far and wide and is more accurately called the SAIS (Southern Andean Iconographic Series). This style is repeated on architectural features, small stone carvings like this puma, pottery, and textiles throughout the Tiahuanaco region of influence, which extended far south from the city into the Atacama of modern day Chile. Part of the definition of empire is the replication of social ideas through material culture (like this stone figure) that spreads from the center to the hinterlands. The reason for spreading this material culture was not just to build an economy in trade objects, but also to share ideas about how the empire would be run, and specifically, who held power. The feline image was used throughout pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, Central America, and South America as a stand in for a deity/ruler who was intimidating, powerful, and could be violent if they chose to be. It also reminds the viewer of the supernatural power of the ruler, by linking them to the supernatural power of an anthropomorphic feline. Particularly in Andean iconography, the feline is also associated with other animals believed to have supernatural powers, the snake and the llama, who are clearly seen in the incised designs on this puma's flanks. This object would have been a symbol of power for the elite rulers of a vast and, to us, who have no written record of it, mysterious empire.

Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, Earliest Horizon, Valdivian, ca. 2300 to 2000 BCE. A skillfully-executed limestone carving of an owl visage, though with monkey-like simian features, on a rectangular plank. The sculptor carved the bird of prey's visage with bold and deeply carved angular, curved, and straight lines on a pale grey limestone with nice white mineral deposits and root marks. This aesthetic boasts attractive minimalism that appeals to our modern sensibilities and yet bespeaks of the ancient world. Size: 5.5" W x 8" H (14 cm x 20.3 cm)Ancient stone steles from Ecuador like this example are the oldest stone sculptures known to exist in the Americas, dating as far back as 3500 BCE. Certainly each stele is unique; however, they do share a few common characteristics. They are usually carved from a pearly grey colored stone and are for the most part "blockish" in form. The four most prominent themes include the owl, the serpent/arrow, the sun chart, and the star chart. The owl was widely symbolic in the Pre-Columbian world. Owls were considered Shamanic, guiding humans on their journeys to other worlds, the divine, and death. In some cultures an anthropomorphic owl represented a warrior or war god. As a nocturnal bird of prey, the owl was also associated with night hunters, darkness, and the Underworld.

Leonard Harry Wells (British, b.1903, exh. 1922-1931) Portrait of Wing Commander (later Air Vice-Marshal) James Edgar "Johnnie" Johnson, CB, CBE, DSO and 2 Bars, DFC and Bar signed upper left hand corner "L H Wells / Lubeck '45" oil on canvas 49 x 59cm (19 x 23in) Provenance: By descent within the family of the sitter Other Notes: James (Johnnie) Johnson was the RAF Fighter Command's most successful pilot and one of the most highly-decorated in the Second World War. He shot down no fewer than 34 enemy planes as well as numerous other shared, probables or damaged. He was awarded a DSO with two subsequent Bars and a DFC with a later Bar. Curiously, the RAF was nearly deprived of his remarkable services for various reasons. Both his applications to join the Auxiliary Air Force were rejected. These were partly on medical grounds, but also on the basis of a modest background - his father was a policeman in Melton Mowbray but had progressed to the rank of Inspector and Johnnie himself had been to Loughborough Grammar School. There was a popular misconception that fighter pilots were devil-may-care upper crust playboys but, in fact, of the 3000 or so pilots who took part in the Battle of Britain, only some 200 had been to Pubic School. A third hurdle was encountered by Johnson when, in training at Hawarden in North Wales following acceptance into the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, he crash-landed two Spitfires within four days, on both occasions the result of errors on his own part. He feared rejection but, mercifully for the RAF and the country, these transgressions and the earlier prejudices were overlooked and he qualified. This was in August 1940 when the Battle of Britain was approaching its peak and the RAF realised that with production of Spitfires having been dramatically increased they could afford loss of aircraft much more easily than loss of pilots. Johnson was still being plagued by an improperly-set broken collarbone from his rugby playing days and opted for an operation prior to taking up position in a squadron. He thus did not join 616 Squadron until December 1940, by which time the Battle of Britain was over, although he had very briefly been posted to 19 Squadron where one of his fellow pilots was Douglas Bader. Due to 616 Squadron's role within Fighter Command all of Johnson's successes were German fighters. In a MkIA Spitfire he is credited with downing a Messerschmitt Me109 and a second one in a MkIIA Spitfire. He then moved on to a Spitfire MkVb in which he shot down a further five Me109s together with, perhaps somewhat improbably, two Focke-Wolf Fw190s. This was an extremely formidable German fighter introduced in 1942 and considered by some pilots and RAF High Command to be so superior to the MkV Spitfire that the days of the Spitfire marque may be numbered. It was therefore all the more impressive that Johnson should somewhat disprove that by shooting two of them down. He did, however, nearly come to grief at the hands of a Fw190 in August 1942 when, providing support for the disastrous Dieppe Raid, having shot down one Fw190 and had a third share in another, he was chased by another and had to take drastic and extremely dangerous evasive action to avoid being shot down himself. Mercifully, the MkIX Spitfire arrived with the RAF just in time. It was a match for the Fw190 and for Johnson and for many of his fellow pilots it was the favourite marque of all the Spitfires they flew. Johnson principally flew two of the MkIXs, registrations EN398 and MK392. Surprisingly, in these and other MkIXs, he shot down more Fw190s, eighteen, than the competent but less-lethal Me109, seven. By 1945 Johnson had moved on to MkXIV Spitfires. He, like many of his contemporaries, felt that the Griffon-engined aeroplane was a fine machine but that, without the iconic Merlin engine, the MkXIV was not a "proper" Spitfire. One of the MKXIVs he flew, registered MV268, still exists and flies registered now as MV293, based at Duxford, Cambridgeshire. He did not add to his scoring tally in a MkXIV. Sally, Johnson's black labrador, was with Johnnie Johnson on operations in mainland Northern Europe from just after D-Day untll the end of the War. She did not fly, nor fly with him in his Spitfire - it might have been a little cramped in the cockpit and he needed to swivel his head around to keep a sharp lookout for the "Hun in the Sun" ! “I found the engineer officer and together we had a look at her, gleaming and bright in a new spring coat of camouflage paint. Later I took her up for a few aerobatics to get the feel of her, for this was the first time I had flown a Mk IX. She seemed very fast, the engine was sweet and she responded to the controls as only a thoroughbred can. I decided that she should be mine, and I never had occasion to regret that choice.” Wing Commander James Edgar “Johnnie” Johnson talking about his first encounter with EN398 Condition appears fine - under glass.
