| Description | Posts of this type decorate the verandahs of kings, titled elders, priests, and shrines to the gods. "By depicting humanity (priests, mother and children, warriors, court officials) they litterally multiply the number of 'supporters' of a leader or divinity and, in so doing, enhance his power and prestige." |
