Two male and two female ancestors and three children are depicted. The ancestor at the top is blowing a head horn. The sitters are (from top to bottom): Sowey, Damjen, Dasithowkoripitsj, Ofen, Eankasthi, Afaisemow, Asekumit. All but the child Damjen fell victim to headhunting raids. The tip of the cemen is shaped like a snake. The Kum clan was the bisj's own.
