THE KARRIWARRl" OR SACRED HOUSE AT DJAMNA 



The decorating is intricate and very varied. There is no means of lighting the house 

 from without nor ventilating it. The square door with its curtain of grass is the only entrance 

 or exit. The carved crocodile crawling up one of the supporting posts is a regular mark used 

 to designate a sacred structure.
