Tohunga under Tapu. Gottfried Lindauer
The remains of the sacred dead and all connected therewith were highly tapu and anyone who had been engaged in handling the dead or bones of the dead would be extremely tapu (sacred/forbidden) and would not dare to touch food with the hands. Consequently such persons like the Tohunga shown had to be fed in the manner shown in this picture.
