Toraja essentials

This painting was made during my trip on the land of the Torajas who are an Indonesian tribe live in the mountains of Sulawesi.
They have a unique tradition about death and cemetery beside the practice of the taken over world religions like Muslim and Christian.
This experience inspired me so much so I put the objects and things together what I liked the most into one picture. The composition is totally random from my intuition. You can see the reference photos of these things below.
The buffalo was a sacrifical animal who lived only around one hour after the picture was taken.
