This large figural group has been vetted as authentic, but with little evidence of use. Note the wood loss on one side of the base.

These figures, some of which were brightly painted, were placed on altars in shrines or displayed at special ceremonies. The wand-like staffs were also carried during ceremonies. Several are depicted in colonial wear..
