Model
The longest dough figure model is square and has notches on all four sides, representing four-legged animals and torma. The medium-sized model is hexagonal and has notches on four sides representing ritual objects and cult figures. The shortest dough figure model is square and has notches on two sides, representing human figures performing ritual acts. These three wooden models are connected to each other with a leather cord, to which a metal file and a chiselled iron rod are also attached. The latter two are used to press in and then remove the dough.
