“Carranca” is a wooden-carved figurehead that used to be attached to boats sailing the São Francisco river in the Northeast of Brasil, serving as protection and also to identify merchants and rival tribes. These figures were believed to ward off evil spirits and bad luck, and their use has expanded to represent spiritual protection in various contexts today. They are strongly connected to the originary peoples of Brazil.
Growing up in the Norheast of Brazil, this was a common “totem" we'd see everywhere, often carried as some sort of talisman.
Two versions are included - a bigger statue version and a smaller version with a hole at the top, for a keychain.
