The figure is then cared for as though living, washed and fed in order to maintain harmony between the physical and spiritual worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"1031\" data-start=\"704\"\u003eLike the well-known twin figures of the Yoruba, Ewe Venovi dolls are often depicted in mature form rather than as infants, symbolizing continuity, balance, and ancestral presence.
