"Aduno koro" or "ark of the world" receptacle that was typically part of family altars dedicated to Amma, the Creator. Of rectangular shape with a protruding horse's head on one side, and tail on the other, its shape refers to the story of a mythical ark that Creator Amma sent from heaven to inhabit the earth. It contained everything considered essential to life. The figures on the sides of the vessel evoke this journey that led to the bringing of life to earth.
