My image of a full-moon shaped Waru Kakurr Dhibadhib.

This Turtle Egg Chest Plates/Pendant, is made of pearl shell, these were worn by young warriors/Dancers, who had gone through initiation and the Mamoos (chief) would also have worn a Dhibadhib reflecting his rank.

These chest plates were made with engraved intricate imagery of the island and sea life representing identified family totems.
