Thus, twin children are worshipped every month.
" In some cases, where the parents have the means, an in- vitation goes round to as many twins as they can get to par- take of the sacrificial feasts. Of course, . The people enjoy themselves at the feast.
208 FETICHISM IN WEST AFRICA '' The twins have everything in common ; they eat the same kind of food and wear the same dress. If one of them should die, the mother is bound to make a wooden image to repre- sent the dead child. This kind of image... is generally about a foot in length, and is made of Ire wood, which is flexible and durable. It is carved in such a manner as to represent the human anatomy. " These images, substitute for a dead twin, are used very extensively among all the tribes of Africa. Various reasons are given for their use : that the surviving twin shall not be lonely ; that the departed one may be sure it is not forgotten ; and other reasons. The images are retained as family fetiches, to ward off evil from the mother.
