"Large stone carvings are found by forest paths and serve as an opportunity for travelers to petition for safety while crossing through the dense woodland. Offerings of small favored objects, morsels of indulgent food or small unusual rocks is an effective way to earn protection of this particular nature deity. Many travelers also leave small handmade effigies near these statues for others to take with them for continued luck. The custom is to replace a taken effigy with one's own carving on the next excursion through the area. There are reports of dishonest effigy "collectors" finding themselves stricken with a curse of gastrointestinal distress until the fair share is returned to the stone idol..."

This is for a cold cast iron finished effigy figure. It feels heavy and cold to the touch like real metal but is a mixture of metal powder and urethane. Each one is weathered and decorated to be unique! These can be polished further with steel wool if the buyer prefers more shine.

Each special figure has glass and metal beads, some with brass bells and some with Stegodon fossil beads. Each has a tiny sparkly glass pupil set into a gold eye.
