Description:
Two wooden carvings of human figures and a phallus leaning against a house wall, all probably used as part of the Ingessana calk group activities.
This community group led by a hereditary female ritual expert (tau:n) was primarily concerned with the promotion of life forces in the community (hence their ribaldry and disorganisation) and specifically with children, twins and marriage.
