Description
Artefacto de metal con características antropomorfas, hecha en bronce. De la cabeza sobresale un semicírculo con una perforación. La figura se trabajó en volumen sólo por el anverso, el reverso permanece totalmente plano. Presenta un cinturón hecho con círculos. Los Ngenpines, Machis y Caciques, los usaban como un elemento protector representante de un Ngen: si es la imagen de un hombre con los brazos abajo simboliza poder, por el contrario, si es una mujer de brazos abajo es de malas energía. Se dejaba bajo la almohada o se llevaba en la mano como una herramienta de poder. Normalmente era de bronce.

It was left under the pillow or carried in the hand as a power tool. Usually it was bronze.
