Model of a house posts

Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf

Models of posts on the façades of men's houses show animals in full sculpture. They possessed a sacred aura and required the observance of certain taboos. This may be one of the reasons why Christoph Fürer-Haimendorf had exact copies made rather than acquiring the originals.
