Commemorative equestrian figure.
In this ethnic group, any woman may learn to model pots for domestic use,
but the privilege of making commemorative sculptures is only given
to the representatives of certain families responsible
for decorating the funeral mounds of important
figures(village chiefs or members of a secret society or famous hunters).
