Whilst perusing Adolfo de Hostos's Anthropological papers. Based principally on studies of the prehistoric archaeology and ethnology of the Greater Antilles we were pleasantly surprised to see a photograph of an amulet we have been interested in for some time. Thanks to Adolfo de Hostos, we currently know the piece was found in Utuado. The piece is one of the few we know of which depicts human faces on the arms of a man. A similar piece was found in what is now Haiti during the French colonial period, so this piece was not the only one of its kind in terms of amulets. We were wondering if the faces represent guaízas worn as armbands?
