Catalogue: This group of figures also impresses with its realistic and simplified depiction. After the death of a karaja, the corpse is smeared with resin to which white down feathers are glued. After further preparatory measures and painting, the body is wrapped in a sleeping mat (straw mat) and taken to a place outside the village. The two figures growing out of a rectangular base plate carry a tied straw mat with their raised left arms, in which a small clay doll (i.e. the corpse) presumably rests. The right arm of both figures is hanging down, not far from the body, and is pierced where the palm should be. They probably held a long pole to which the body of the deceased, together with the mat, was tied at the burial site. Both figures wear a sculpturally graduated helmet hairstyle, which is cut straight across the forehead and extends to the sides and back of the neck. The nose is raised; eyes, mouth and tribal insignia are incised. Both bodies, which are very similar in morphological structure, differ in their painting. One is decorated with predominantly linear colouring, the other with predominantly planar colouring. There is a drawing, possibly depicting a crocodile, on the base between the two men standing one behind the other. Index card: Two men standing on a rectangular base.
