Healing of Abiku Children is a piece created by the Nigerian artist Twins Seven-Seven in 1973 located in the Indianapolis Museum of Art which is in Indianapolis Indiana United States of America. It consists of a large wooden plaque intricately carved and dyed with pigment to depict an important Yoruba ceremony. In it a mother consults with a priest to keep her abiku twins in this world rather than dying and being reborn to her over and over.
