wooden model

The wooden model of domestic animals features a cow and two calves, painted in white and black, and three donkeys.

Through magic, the cattle will come to life to provide the deceased with milk and meat in the afterlife.

The donkeys will also be magically brought to life to haul the deceased's crops and equipment or to carry him if he wants to travel.
