From: Mollusks of Candomblé: symbolic and ritualistic importance
"Strainers" where búzios shells are tossed for the divination practices. On the left molluscs species Cypraea tigris (Larger shells) and Smaller (Macrocypraea zebra, Erosaria caputserpentis, Luria cinerea, Lithopoma tectum and Cerithium eburneum). On the right, around the edges of the strainer it can be seen two deer feet (Mazama americana) representing Odé, a rattle snake rattle (Caudisona durissa), representing Oxumarê, and the tiger tooth (Felidae) being used just for decoration without any mystical sense. The same is also decorated with necklaces representing the 16 orixás cultivated in Brazil.
