Two drums on the ceremonial field. Bua’kasalle, Deri, December 1993. The two drums, of different sizes, are positioned in the center of the ceremonial site on the platform (lentenan or ruma datu). Above, a much higher platform, called a gorang, is raised; access to this is gained via a ladder (on the left). Throughout the ritual both drums will stay on the lower platform, on which the officiants (to minaa) sit. In the foreground, in yellow, an officiated woman [here, the banaa] turns around the construction holding a ceremonial cloth in her right hand and a plate with an areca nut in her left.
