Description
Dolo near Ogho, Choiseul. This one contains the cremated remains of several leaders of one kin group. It served as a sacrificial altar where their ghosts were asked for assistance. The figure in bas relief is of a leader wearing traditional ornaments. His finger tips rest on the heads of two boys who were adopted by his group to take his place when he died.
