★The idea of taking on misfortune on behalf of the child and a wish for the prosperity of future generations.
★A sentiment of celebration and prayers for the safe upbringing of boys.

 warding off of evil.

Déçue, car il me semble que c’est du plastique et je n’ai pas eu de réponse du vendeur et de plus j’ai dû payer 10 euros de frais de douane non prévus…
