Légende
The three-level structure of Karo Batak houses corresponds to ideas of the cosmos, The lower space between the stilts where animals are kept is the underworld, the living area above is the Earth, the tall boat-shaped roof the abode of Gods and ancestors. Each communal house contains five or six family groups. Indonesia. Karo Batak. 1968. North of Lake Toba, North Sumatra.
