Podom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The kepala negri (head of the village) of Lumban Suhi Suhi on Samosir standing near a podom, a stone sculpture, in which ancestor skulls are buried circa 1918, photo by Tassilo Adam

Podom are sculpted sarcophagi traditional to the Toba Batak of Sumatra. They have the forms of longhouse roofs or boats.[1] They are made of stone which is also used for rice mortars (losung batu) and funeral urns (parholian), and statuary[2]
