Location Java Subject General Species Asian Rhinos

Java. Kaloeng-oentoening-warak, the tooth of a rhinoceros worn on a chain. The tooth is made into the shape of a coin with a hole in the middle. To this is attached on the left and the right a piece of gold thread. The child who wears this chain does not suffer when it is bitten by a poisonous centipede (klabang) or a scorpion (katoenggeng, kaladjengking).
