Boa chu galu

This painting represents the spirits of some children caught in the Spirit-Home of Bo Achu, (mythological feline creatures), here ever vigilant so as not to let anyone inside who can help them. Outside are Nuchus trying to rescue the children. Further up in the spirit-home is an evil spirit who is attacking the rescuers with bees. There is a two-headed crocodile in the other dimension, carrying away the spirit of another child. The two-headed turtle appears as a symbol of life and of great power. At the top and bottom appear pictographs to help save these trapped creatures.
