It is used to "scare" bad spirits and it is attached to the front part of boats. Let´s see... Here you have something in English http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carranca. The one you have there is a beautiful one without colors. Here you have a picture of the most commons in Brazil. I used to live in Rio de Janeiro for nine years and I can tell you that even there they have them behind their doors. (Rio is in the Center South part of Brazil) Hope that this works for you. HUGS, Sebas
