The “ittarma” dolls, made by the Chanten and Mansen, served as temporary shelters for the souls of the deceased and were revered accordingly.
The ‘“ittarma” were kept either in forest shrines or in wooden boxes located in the attic of the house or on a special wall shelf opposite the entrance to the house.
