Шаблон:Lang ('wooden person', from Mapuche Шаблон:Lang 'people' and Шаблон:Lang 'wood') are Mapuche statues made of wood used to signal the grave of a deceased person.[1][2]

Description

Файл:Che mamull proporcion.svg
Proportion of a Шаблон:Lang, Mapuche funeral statue, over a person.

The Шаблон:Lang are carved wooden statues, usually more than Шаблон:Convert tall, that represent the stylized body and head of a human being. Statues may have male or female features. The Mapuche used whole logs of either Nothofagus obliqua, a hardwood, or laurel for their Шаблон:Lang.

The Mapuche made Шаблон:Lang in pre-Columbian times in a manner similar to headstones. According to testimony in books, Шаблон:Lang helped the deceased's soul reunite with its ancestors. This sculpture stood by the deceased during the funeral and was then erected over the grave.
