In the belief that certain bones of great people retained their supernatural powers after death, the Fang venerated and preserved such remains. The relics were kept in containers called reliquaries made of bark or woven plant fibers. The sculpted guardians protected the relics from malicious humans and evil spirits and served as a point of contact between the ancestral relics and designated family members.
