Woodwork
A spirit board »gope« that represents and hosts a guardian spirit for the clan or the whole group. Although this is a more recent work from the 20th century, it displays the typical characteristics of spirit boards. A smiling face - that of a benevolent spirit and decorations such as dancers. The dots are considered the navel or entry point of the mind.
