Additional Information: This are healing figures that represents medicine man, woman or Nele. The spirit of a vivo or an alive figure is summoned in the healing process, generally for soul retrieval to restore the balance of health to an afflicted individual. The process is accompanied by a shaman\'s healing chant and the burning of cacao beans in a clay sensor underneath the patients hammock. These figures come from Nalunega, and 2 small from Playon Chico islands. Nuchus are not made to sell...so it was a rare opportunity to be ableto acquire these and some others. These assorted statues are magical and medicinal tool of the village shaman.
