Description
An abstract human figure whose head and ribs are shown in profile. The figure represents the stem ancestor as seen in a dream by the woodcarver. Kamanggabi are kept in the spirit house where sacrifices are made to them. They were brought out only during important events that lasted days, such as headhunting, or relocation of the village. There it was spun around and predicted by the direction the face looked into whether to act or not. When the picture did not meet the expectations, it was thrown away.
