ngaabele genannter Anhänger. Die anthropomorphen Darstellungen standen in der Regel für Zwillinge, die wegen ihrer Affinität zu den Geistwesen Träger besonderer Kräfte waren. Besondere Vorsicht und Verehrung war auch deshalb geboten, weil sie schon zu Lebzeiten sowohl Gutes wie Schlechtes bewirken konnten.

Die kleinen Anhänger wurden bisweilen an einem Band, manchmal auf Leder genäht, z.B. an der Hüfte oder auf der Brust getragen.
