Longkhai - has 2 graveyards. In the Ang graveyard there were no recent corpses and no grave effigies were standing. The skulls of Mauwang's family dead are put in earthenware urns - the lids had been knocked off and Mauwang replaced them and put a stone on top - each urn had a skull. 4 old effigies were rotting in the sodden undergrowth. |
