  abstract = 	{The Konso are renowned for carved wood sculptures and hewn stone stelae. Artistic elements depicted in these unique objects are described in early accounts of Konso society. By shifting the focus to their deeper meanings and day-to-day cultural functions as memorials of war heroes and ancestors, this article argues that these works of art help the Konso inculcate shared values and ideal images of admired and respected individuals.},
