This 
      photograph shows the foyer of the same abandoned Dughwede compound. In the 
      front we see remaining footing of the ceremonial wall and behind it a very 
      low stone pedestal which was the base for the house shrine (3). The house 
      shrine itself has eroded away. Behind the stone base of the shrine we see 
      a stone bench (2). This is the equivalent of the  stone 
      bench for the elders and the father of the house. Unlike a Chikide 
      compound it is in front of the granaries and not next to the ceremonial 
      wall. Behind the stone bench there are the bases of two granaries left in 
      this compound (1). The larger house behind the granaries is the first wife's 
      room. Since all the daub plastering has been washed away from this abandoned 
      compound we can see the original stone structure.
