(hint hint, it doesn't differ at all, they're both idols, meant to serve as a focal point for the faithful. Each just another trinket in a long line of trinkets, each representing a god in a long line of gods. They're only practical use is as social shorthand if worn over the shirt. We could call either talismans if you like, or charms. Doesn't make a lick of difference, they're identical in every regard. On the other hand, one is a depiction of a useful tool..the other a torture device...hmn)
Be less willfully obtuse.
