Note 14 — Chapter XLVI · THE GILYAKS.

Sometimes they wear amulets fashioned like the part afflicted. A lame or injured person carries a small leg of wood, an arm, a hand, reminding one of the wax and silver arms, legs, hands, and hearts seen in churches on Roman images, and on the pictures of Russian saints. The missionary at Tyr gave me, in exchange for tracts, a charm to which is attached a stone, and also two rough wooden fish gods—one with a tail, the other without. The Gilyaks use these images or idols also in their Shaman worship.
