We find broken clay pots in the cave that are used in healing rituals, prayers, and making wishes to the genies or spirits who lived in the cave. Pots of food were left on the altar as a tribute to forefathers and ancient spirits. People beg the spirit world to help them find love, fall pregnant, or start a successful business, and also to block the success of their enemies.

An ancient clay pot dated over 700 years old that was probably used for prayer, wishing and healing rituals. Found in Kuza Cave in 2017.
