Badge
This ornament was fastened tightly around a man's neck, so that the carved head is looking upward toward the nape of the neck of the person wearing it. It protected its wearer from enemies and gave him strength and success in battle. Warlike conflicts were banned by the German colonial powers rendering ornaments of this kind redundant. Today, it is only used in ceremonial dances.
