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.
