The Nung People believe that swallows are an ancient symbol, rich in spiritual metaphors. The birds have long been seen poetically as eternal symbols of spring, sacred messengers, and bridges between Earth and Heaven. They are likened to special planes that transport all happenings, wishes, and tributes of mortals to their supreme beings, and vice versa.
In this illustration, the Nung people, being carried by the dedicated swallows, are honoring their beliefs with traditional cuisines, which are all portrayed as vegan food.
