Montagnards, especialy the Jarai and Bahnar often decorated their family graves with wood carvings. The carvings usually depicted what the man or woman loved or very proud of. The first two photos show a man and wife who loved sex. The other photo show a Montagnard who loved being soldier and the Commanders Radio Operator. Notice the wooden carved FAC plane above his head.
