blood must be shed on a tree so that thechild\'s soul can enter it, the tree must be cut, and a figure carved from it\'swood. This figure has to be wrought by a carver chosen by the Ifa oracle. Thecarver creates a female or male (significant sexual characteristics) \"Ere Ibedji\",and with exception of the regional regalia of the tribe, he has plenty offreedom to create his own interpretation of the twin. There are only a few rulesfor proportions, the size of the head to the body, etc. In a special ritual thesoul of the dead child will be transmitted to this figure. The parents of thedead child treat the figure like a living child and decorate the figure withnecklaces or rings. They attend to the figure as if it was their child, theyfeed and wash it. The headdress will be constantly rubbed with Indigo and thebody will be rubbed with red wood powder. And as a sign of dignity (in wealthyfamilies), some Ibedji get pearl cloaks. These ceremonies should honour thedecedent, to underline it\'s significance and to protect the family shipping costs of the objects fromGermany includes packing and insurance up to 500 euro and trackingnumber, if it is send with DHL Germany .
