Indonesia - Sulawesi - Tana Toraja

During the event of Ma'Nene (Care of Ancestors) Daughter Merlin cries over her mother Martha Rantelimbong, who passed away 2 years ago. As soon as the traditional coffins are dragged out the tomb, the relatives put on surgical masks. After the cleaning, it’s time for her to take a rest and sunbathe for a little.
