Waruga

Waruga are a type of sarcophagus or above ground tomb traditionally used by the Minahasans of North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

They are made of stone and consist or a ridged upper part and a box-shaped lower section.

Dead Minahasans were originally wrapped in woka, a type of leaf.

They are seated with the heel and toe attached to the buttocks, and the head "kissing" the knees.

At Taman Purbakala Waruga-Waruga, the sarcophagi have been collected from surrounding areas and at a nearby museum porcelain, armbands, axes and bone fragments are exhibited.
