A roof
detail on the sacrificial hall. The more animals
there are on the
ridge line, the more prominent
the sponsor of the building
level. This level has nine figures.
The
second story roof line has eleven. In addition to
the Emperor,
perhaps his Empress is honored by this building.
The wire
along the upper roof line
is a lightning rod.
The
netting under the eaves is to keep birds from nesting in the artwork.
