aloalo
The aloalo is a funerary pole sculpture that, along with the skulls of slaughtered zebu, is placed on the tombs of important people in the south-western region of Madagascar. These carved posts often tell the story of the person's life and generally take the form of a series of geometric or symbolic shapes topped by sculpted figures or objects evocative of the deceased's life. They are chiefly associated with the Mahafaly people,〔Stevens, R. (1999). ''Major World Nations: Madagascar.'' London: Chelsea House Publications.〕 although they are also found on the tombs of some Antandroy and particularly the Sakalava, whose carved figures are reputed for their often erotic imagery.〔Turner, J. (Ed.). (1996). "Madagascar," in ''The Dictionary of Art, Volume 20.'' London: Macmillan Publishers Limited.〕
