Their Home

-

The houses are made of wood with a high thatched roof and the doorway is often ornamented with buffalo horns and jawbones (the number on a house indicates the family’s status). In addition, each family has two houses – the females have the bhaga symbol, which is a miniature house, perched on the roof whilst the males have the ngadhu symbol, which looks like a parasol with an impressive carved wooden pole.
