As for the ancestral worship religion of Austronesians, the squatting figure would be a common design expression ...

more pics, given that compared to the bird and serpent motifs, the ancestral figures have been given less attention ...

if i recall correctly, the idea behind using the squatting figure is that this is the position the corpse of the departed ancestor is made to assume in certain burial practices. and i think the preferred position is as such, based on the idea that the same is the fetal position (and so the dead person should go back to the position he used to assume before he was born ... or something like that).
