| TOGO: This stunning house appears to grow out of the red soil. It is a series of towers connected by thick walls, an earthen castle. The rooms under the capped conical roof's are for storage of millet and sorghum; the other upper story tower rooms are for sleeping and cooking. The ground floor is for animals. On the exterior walls are fetish animal skulls and peep holes for spying on potential enemies. |
