In this capacity she propagates the status of the descent group, something that in the realistically-designed luli we also see in the ornaments which decorate her figure. For example, some statues have a golden headdress which indicates that the wearer - and through her, the group - belong to the marna - the local aristocracy. On many luli (RMV 1476-11) a necklace is also visible. In Moluccan Malay this is called mas tanduk ('golden horns'). Like all gold jewellery in western Maluku Tenggara the mas tanduk represents a hunting trophy, which also emphasizes the prestige of the group.
