Two are of ivory and gold, one of ebony wood and gold, two of gold, one of aquamarine and gold, one of coral and gold, one of green agate and gold and one of jadeite and gold.

*The Figa (fee-gah) is a symbol of an age-old myth in Africa, this clenched-fist good-luck charm came to Brazil with its XVII century slave trade. As its memories paled over generations, belief in its powers to increase warriors' fertility also faded, and until present it is prized by Brazilians for luck, prosperity, and protection.
