The shape of this sculpture is reminiscent of that of the roof spires (Gomoa). These sculptures were associated with the Chief’s Hut (Grande Case). They constituted one of the major symbolic elements of chiefdom. This house was the seat of power and the center of sociocultural, political and religious activities of the clans within Kanak society. Dream boards were placed horizontally, inside the Hut and notably served for divination purposes.
