Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Boat House Mausoleum. Kete Kesu Village, Tana Toraja.
This mausoleum in the shape of a house is a modern variant of the more traditionally-inspired (but still modern) Torajan "boat-house burials" Its walls are decorated with various motifs that include, along the side, a traditional snake-and-clouds decoration in two horizontal bands. A realistic statue of the principal deceased, encased in modern plexiglass to keep it safe from the elements, watches over the upper front. Below is a Christian cross: the Torajans are culturally animist, although many now identify themselves as Christian due to political necessity. The roof of the mausoleum is a modified boat-form. |
