Nguzu Nguzu. This traditional symbol is an icon for Western Province people. It is usually donned in front of the traditional Western Province war canoe called the Tomoko. It was 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 paddlers as they travel to conquer surrounding islands during the head hunting days.
