- Traditionally, the doll, often one made of terracotta, is placed in a basket made from banana trunk, and the basket is left at a T-junction, a route believed to be employed by the dead, or is floated on a river. The basket may also contain nails or hair of the offerer or other offerings, as flowers, liquor, etc.[1]
