Full original description
Strange figure of a slender woman playing the drum since it is the men who usually play this instrument both in ceremonies and in play activities. The morphology and scarifications, the rhombus composed of nine rhombuses that re-ransense the nine primordial clans, of women respond perfectly to the stylistic criteria of the ethnic group. The bracelets and necklace denote a certain range.
