Hauptpfosten (Modell)
Models of posts on the façades of the 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.
