6. Batak house
 "The houses of the Toba and Karo are recognizable by their massive style
of building construction, which is suited to the way the inhabitants settled
more and less permanently. The stilt house is an eminently practical form of
architecture for life in the tropics. The ornaments put onto the external
walls of the house are meant to drive away evil influences. These
ornaments consist of anthropomorphic and zoomorphic representations,
carved decorative ornaments, and wall paintings. The colors used are
natural colors, the most important being red (from red clay), white (from
chalk), and black (from charcoal), which respectively represent the three
spheres of the cosmos: the human world, the world of good spirits above,
and the underworld.
