Description

wood, base

The ritual object “anok” is an important requisite of the “simo” secret society. In front of the “anok” and through him, the young initiate is prepared for his rights and duties as adequate member of the social community.

During the closing ceremonies antelope horns, filled with magical substances, were stuck into the openings of the anok. After the circumcision the young man takes the horns and keeps them.
