content: This series is comprised of images of and related to Ibeji rituals and twins, including art objects, twins in everyday settings with their families, and albino twins.  There are a few photos of Soyi Odunlami, a tailor in Ikenne, Dada children, an Orishala priest, and an Idowu Ritual in Ikenne.  In addition to Ikenne, the slides were taken in Ilorin, Ilishan, Iperu, Badagry, Egbe, Iganna, and Ibadan.  A few of the photos in this series were used in Houlberg's articles, "Collecting the Anthropology of African art," "Egungun Masquerades of the Remo Yoruba,"  and "Ibeji Images of the Yoruba".
