Description:
A goat on top of a termite mound with vegetation. Termites were commonly gathered for oil by people within a territory surrounding the homestead, with rights to gather in certain areas agreed between neighbours. Such mounds were also used for consulting the termite oracle (dakpa), where two sticks are left half entered into the mound, the answer to a question being given by which stick is nibbled.
