text:

All the Aos are Christians except for four houses including the gaonburas, while the Konyak apparently hold on to their old customs without change. Therefore the Ao morung which is like that of the Konyak in style although smaller stands empty and is already slightly dilapidated. The big slit drum which ends in a buffalo head has no longer a protective roof and will hardly stand up to the weather much longer
