wooden carved post for mithan sacrifice |
| text: |
(173) In front of one house I saw a wooden forked post almost unworked, that is uncarved. It remains there from a mithan sacrifice. The mithan sacrifice on the other hand does not seem to have the same significance here as it has among the Ao. For the Ou-ling-bu several men together buy a mithan, slaughter it and share the meat. The Ang does not keep any part of these sacrifices. Only when a morung is built does he get a leg of the sacrificed mithan. |
