摘要：We begin this discussion with the famous phrase of the American anthropologist Anthony Seeger: As interest in broad evolutionary schemes declined and intensive analyzes of specific societies increased, the study of material culture was largely abandoned in favor of a study of social organization, mythology and ritual. However, material culture is an important part of people's lives. What they do, decorate and use is an integral part of their culture. Ignoring these things is as big a mistake as focusing only on them. (Seeger, 1980, p. 41). Based on this idea, this article brings a Guarani Amerindian view of sacred objects - from ethnographic research conducted at Aldeia Jaguapirú and Aldeia Bororó, both located in Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul, Midwest region of the Brazilian territory. Thus, our aim is never to exhaust this discussion of fundamental importance, much less to exclude or deny the investigations carried out by non-indigenous researchers, but, above all, to bring another analysis, description and further interpretation about these sacred and ritualistic objects that they have always made part of the history and poetic-memory of Guarani culture.
