Series2. Biasha people worship trees. The ponytail in the middle represents a tree and the wild grass around the tree should be removed. When a Biasha is born, a tree is planted and will make him a coffin at the end of his life. And a new tree is planted again.

I would like Jasão to see these pics. Jasão is the poor man who has the arduous job of cutting my hair.
