Comment: |
In these small containers the umbilical cord of the newly born child is contained. Because the Hindu people on Bali believe that a newly born child is a reincarnation of one of their grand parents, everything aroud the birth is sacred. That's why the umbilical cord is saved and for the child to wear during its first year, to provide protection and good luck. |
