The simple-pitched, "eared" roof on this domestic house has a modeled bird on the ridge between the two-housepost prongs.  The dwelling is enclosed on three sides, with another partition covering one-third of the front.  Inside, three seated figures eat from a large central bowl, while their dog looks on.
