Historical Note: When the people began their extensive wanderings, one of the first immortals they encountered in this fourth world was Masau'u, or Skeleton Man.  In order to live on the surface of the fourth plane, the people had to be willing to die, and thus Skeleton Man became the god of death. In this bowl Skeleton Man is accompanied by a stylized little animal we may interpret as being a badger with a stylized fire drill in its mouth perhaps.  Badgers are traditionally a part of fire-bringing.  The badger is well known for his digging ability, an ability that allows him to find the roots used to make fires, and this in turn associates him with fire.  The little animal's digging ability also gives him metaphorical possibilities of digging in graves and of thus raising the dead, and thus allows him a close affiliation with Skeleton Man.
