This coiled plaque was probably made as a replica of the gift for the groom, because the last coil was unfinished. This practice is followed so that the groom will not meet an untimely death. The plaque is filled with piki or cornmeal and carried by the bride to her mother-in-law's house in return for the garments and gifts that she will receive from the groom's family. At his death, the groom's spirit will sail on the plaque to the underworld.
