Mithun skulls.
The Mithun is a semi domesticated type of buffalo, is the most prestigious animal sacrifice, and has great spiritual power, because of the mithun's massive appearance, large horns and its longstanding association with fertility.
Its horns, in particular, have symbolic fertility powers. Both on the Morung and on the house posts and house fronts of wealthy men and chiefs they symbolized fertility and wealth.
