Howler Monkey

Howler monkeys are the loudest of all monkeys.
They call to let others know where their territory is, alerting them to stay away.
The calls sound like a loud whooping bark or roar. After one group of howlers call, another group answers.

Howler monkeys usually do this in the morning and at the end of the day.

One of the most common pictographs found was a felled tree.
Of 137 carved gravestones recorded in Suriname, almost half of them depicted a felled tree, usually by a heavenly arm or angel wielding an axe.
This symbol represents divine power and untimely death to Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews.

Because of the symbol’s meaning, it is only found on the graves of people younger than 50 years old.

Some hand symbols communicated the family’s place within the general community.
For example, iconography of hands with the index and middle finger separated from the ring and pinky finger with the thumbs touching symbolized affiliation with the Cohanim (Kohen), or Jewish priesthood, indicating the deceased’s prominent religious role.
