The allure of taxidermy, brought to you by {name}

Jonas Rathaj

“Gobbo della fortuna” ovvero o scartellato  scolpito in  “conciglia cassia “da maestri artigiani dell’epoca.primi 900’
, noto a Napoli come 'O Scartellato, è una figura popolare scaramantica che simboleggia ricchezza, prosperità e buona sorte, considerato l'opposto dello jettatore. La credenza, radicata nella tradizione partenopea, vuole che toccargli la gobba (o avere un suo amuleto, spesso in argento o con un corno rosso) porti fortuna, benessere e abbondanza, collegandosi a antiche credenze sulla fertilità e sulla figura del portatore di cesti pieni. 
Significato e origini
'O Scartellato: Il nome deriva dal termine napoletano "scartello", che indica la gobba, e si riferisce all'uomo curvo per il peso di un cesto.
Simbolo di ricchezza: La gobba rappresenta il peso di un cesto pieno di beni, perciò toccarla o averla come amuleto promette di condividere quell'abbondanza.
Antitesi dello jettatore: È una figura positiva, che allontana la sfortuna, a differenza di chi porta malocchio. 
Come si usa l'amuleto
Attivazione: Chi te lo regala dovrebbe pungere il palmo della tua mano sinistra con la punta del corno (se presente).
Rappresentazione: Spesso è raffigurato con cilindro, papillon rosso e, talvolta, un corno napoletano.
Smorfia: Nella smorfia napoletana, il gobbo (Scartellato) corrisponde al numero 57.
