    idk that seems a bit prescriptive, i’m sure there are counter examples of like ancestor veneration, relics etc

    There was judicial mutilation (eye removal, amputation). Not sure of the relationship with these ritual objects, fair question though

      Relics and veneration are one thing, but according to the description these are from slaves and serfs, not exactly honored people in that society.

        Was just responding to booty’s last sentence, not everybody buries or cremates (sometimes you keep a person’s bone because you like them)

        In this case, yeah thats 100% serf
