[QUOTE="Jivvy, post: 495578, member: 8184"]I found a Reddit page last night that said these pieces with embedded bits are commonly sold in botanicas and that the embedded bits are "good luck charms" of a sort. I also came to the conclusion that the statue was Chongo, but couldn't find one that looked much like yours (kept getting tripped up in new stuff). The one posted on the Reddit page was santa muerte and so most of the thread was dedicated to that, but let me see if i can find it again.[/QUOTE]
