Typical of Konso culture. Poles and stones form an important part of Konso ritual. The carved waka/waga are erected above the grave of any important Konso man or warrior, surrounded by smaller statues of his wives and defeated foes. The sombre facial features of the dead warrior are carved into the waka, --- sometimes with enlarged teeth from animal bone.
