Pendant with two figures at top and skirt-like bottom

Specialists in the Sando society help their clients resolve marital disputes, health woes, and economic difficulties by consulting with the spritual world.  Together with the client, these specialists determine a particular course of action that is intended to solve the problem--whether prayer, wearing a protective charm, or other prescriptions.  When a Sando specialist, also known as a diviner, starts out, she commissions small bronze twin figures, like this one, as part of the tools of her trade.  The small sculpture represents twins.
