huge houses, carvings of animals and drum house |

(206) Like the Chang the houses have enormously protruding gables. The ridge slopes down towards the back of the house. This type is exaggerated in the morungs which house the drums. Their steep gables reach up over all roof tops. These morungs are essentially nothing but drum houses. I saw carvings on the frontal posts which support the protruding roof, of mithan heads, tigers and human figures. The first seemed very similar to the carved mithan heads of the Angami |
