While the Africans I know reflect an intense and sophisticated understanding of social relationships, I like to think that--once in awhile--they behave like other humans and fail to meet their high standards of positive interaction. This couple may have had a misunderstanding, as they stand back-to-back, betraying their inclusion in the imperfect world of feuding spouses. For the aficionado, the stolid, compressed forms and extended headgear reflect the Yoruba approach to the human figure, most often seen in ire ibeji or twin figures.
