They were worn around the neck as a symbol for membership. They protected their owners against diseases and played an important role during funeral celebrations. In pre-colonial times ogboni society had not only religious, but political and jurisdictional functions as well. With the founding of the Reformed Ogboni Fraternity in 1914 the old rites of the ogboni Society lost their meaning. H: 21 cm, (4865/004) Provenance Balint B.
