| In these urns we can find human representations of the gods, of priests and shamans with the attributes of gods and maybe also of important rulers. The majority of these representations are seated, with their legs crossed in the oriental fashion and with their hands on their knees. They were usually placed at the entrance of the tomb to protect the burial. | ||
