Spelling in the regional dialect; Mazziotti refers to their "apotropaic" shapes [i.e. believed to protect against evil or bad luck].

Usually made of bone; Mazziotti mentions, however, one example (encountered in Saracinesco [ENE of Rome, prov. Rome]) made of a claw [cheliped] of a crab from the Aniene river.
