Mugugundu (animal figure in general), four-legged figure, joined in pairs, with a pyramidal head characterized by two pointed formations facing backwards in the upper part of the skull, with eyes with punctiform incisions and a mouth represented by a deep and thin horizontal incision .
It is a general warning that for all the objects that are used in the Bwami rites, caution should be exercised in defining their use, function and meaning. These elements are in fact linked to many circumstances, and in particular, to the aphorism that is sung around that object.
This figure represents a small animal: one of the meanings is that man, like this Mugugundu, is only passing through the world.
It comes from Kama (Shabunda)
