If the people of Timor were a tree, then Christianity would be a successful graft, and Animism would be the root system that sustains them.
The making, trading & gifting of charms is deeply ingrained in Timorese "adat" traditional practices. Stones with special qualities, real or imagined are considered extremely potent. Objects found in nature or formed with the intent to heal or influence/charm fall into this group.
