The man's son will put them up and give a village feast - if he cannot feast the village he does not put up the figures - skull not put on the figure - figures put up 'so that the family may see the dead man and their sorrow be eased' - also 'if we do not give it the dead man will feel slighted. His mind will get bad. He will harm his family'. - 'His wife will see the figure and 'gaubi takibo'?' - |
