Bolians may have one, a few, or many sculptures. They are displayed with pride in the home and have a place of prominence. A visitor will always be shown the sculptures upon a first visit. Comments about their artistic merit and beauty are welcome and appreciated. Inquiring as to the artisan who made any given one are acceptable. However it is considered extremely rude to ask about the Primary Water, where it came from and the occasion that led to its commission. These may be deeply private and may not be something shared with casual company. The full history of each one is something that is reserved for the closest of friends, family, and romantic interests. The only exception is if a given visitor had a part to play in the reason for the sculpture's creation. | Bolians may have one, a few, or many sculptures.
