It is part of a highly unusual group of ornaments cast by the lost wax method in Sulawesi that were used as ceremonial regalia and as wedding gifts from the grooms family to the brides. The hollowed centre is believed to represent the female genitalia and the horn-like elements on the top are to represent buffalo horns, and those on the sides, the pincers of crabs (Taylor & Aragon, 1991, p. 194). The shape is a legacy of much earlier Austronesian heritage similarly shaped ornaments are found among the Austronesian-speaking peoples of Luzon in the southern Philippines to the peoples of north Sumatra to the Tanimbar Archipelago in Indonesia (Benitez-Johannot, 2007. p. 230
