Description analytique : Les ODY sont des sortes d'amulettes magiques constituées généralement d'un morceau de bois ou de racine détaché des arbres sacrés auxquels on ajoute des perles, cornes, graines et divers autres objets ou substances leur conférant leur puissance. Il existe deux formes de talismans: les cornes chargées et les enfilages type colliers. L'Ody malgache est proche, par sa fonction protectrice, des objets vodun. Cette amulette est constituée par un cône en corne rempli d'une substance terreuse dans laquelle on a planté deux morceaux de bois anguleux. La corne est recouverte de pièces de verroterie rouge, noire et blanche et de deux petits coquillages. Un chapelet de petits morceaux de bois et de perles de verre est fixé à la corne. On trouve également des perles en forme d'olives qui sont assez rares.
