Légende
A stone figure on an old Batak tomb, Revered ancestors were honoured by elaborate second burial ceremonies in which bodies were exhumed, cleaned, and wrapped in cloths before being placed in these memorials. Performing this rite is still crucial to a family's prestige, although concrete tombs are used now. Indonesia. Batak. 1968. Lake Toba, North Sumatra.
