It is brown in color and is made out of wood. It has delicate shells inserted in the wood. The shells arealso taken from the south pacific ocean reefs. This carving is beautiful for home decorations and gifts. The Nguzunguzu is well know in the Solomon Islands and is a favoraite amoung international visitors. It is varnished and oiled after it has been handcarved. The Nguzu Nguzu was said to have been used to ward off dangerous sea spirits particularly that of the Kesoko sea spirit. The figurehead is said to be a protector of the Tomoko riders as they travel to conquer surrounding islands during the head hunting days.

"The Nguzu Nguzu is kind of like a guiding spirit and during the 19th to the 20th century, our ancestors travel for tribal wars with the Nguzu Nguzu in front of the canoe as a protection. This gives the Western Province people the confidence to travel the great ocean and conquer other warring parties
