Read the excerpt from A Short Walk Around the Pyramids and through the World of Art.

In the past, the Kota spoke to the bones of their ancestors before making important decisions. They stored the bones in small baskets woven of rolls of bark or leaves. Sculpture such as this piece -- which is called a Kota funerary figure -- was tied to the top of the baskets. We are not certain what the figure meant to the Kota.
