The little man sitting with his legs crossed in a position of meditation is in fact a human offering. The young men, often aritokratic, was believed to be messengers to the god. After the offering the bodies was put in an upright position with the help of a wooden stick tied to the back and put ot to dry. After that the body was buried in a cubic coffin. Several findings in northern Europe have shown these type of sacrifices.
