The Mohara, a receptacle designed to bring together several essential elements, and also a personal and transportable version of the Ody. It consists of a point of horn mainly from a zebu or a wooden replica with a length of 10 to 30 cm generally attached to the chest or waist of its owner thanks to a strap of fabric. This rope is presented in its natural form but can also be cut with facets, cut sides or other cutting likely to embellish it. Its horns can be sheathed either in a lace of twine or with a mesh of pearls at their upper end. It is a tiny bead (jijikely) of various colors, most frequently red, green, white or black, sometimes yellow, orange, pink or blue, sewn very tightly onto a weft of thread. His compositions form geometric figures very comparable to those which adorn Zulu beaded aprons or Shona necklaces in southern Africa. It's beads are beneficial elements mainly lucky charms and are therefore only used in love and wealth charms.
