1 month agoI was curious as to why the had holes through them. According to the article the bowls were ‘killed’ before being placed on the heads of the deceased as a burial rite.
A person probably had their favorite bowl and when they died their relatives punched a hole through it to make it useless and stuck it on their head.
This is your fault.
