Description: A beautifully crafted calabash, adorned with delicate white beads, hangs gracefully from a slender cord. Alongside it rests a pristine white necklet, intricately designed, and a lustrous pearl button that catches the light. The calabash, traditionally used to hold powdered herbal remedies, serves as a sacred amulet, often worn around the neck by the diviner, symbolizing their deep connection to ancestral wisdom and the natural world.
