🌿Na'vi cradles🌿

From left to right:

° lesutx aytanhi clan - compact, made from belly part of skin from passed ikran (because it's very soft type of leather) and sticks of the local "oak"

° atan'taw clan - multifunctional, the holders (?) of the cradle also are using to hold the cooking pots during the cooking

After the meal the coals that was left are gently heating the baby's bed

° metkayina clan - made from the giant snail shell and placed on the (unfortunately) dead coral

It's used by na'vi till the baby can walk after that they change it to mat (for baby's safety)

° tum'nan clan - making process of this cradle is very complicated and takes a lot of time

It's made of living tree which is modeled by na'vi to grow in certain direction (like a bonsai for example) but the tree isn't that big (more like a stunted plants) and stops its grow after a few years (2-3 years usually)
