Descripción
Long pieces of wood carved on the upper end with a human figure with a large phallus and a central section wrapped with bark cloth or containing several carved horizontal figures. They often vary in size, ranging between 0.76 meters and 5.5 meters in length. The images on the staff gods emphasize the notion of male procreation power.
