Interpretation:
1. The flying bird served as the totemic object venerated by departed ancestors. People prayed for its blessings to ensure harmonious social interactions among tribal members.
2. The bull stands as the tribe’s totemic emblem. Its physical prowess enables dual apotropaic functions, such as repelling evil forces through spiritual purification and deterring threats through symbolic intimidation, thereby safeguarding the tribe’s demographic vitality and cultural legacy.
