The roof is made of bamboo structure covered with black fibers as well as a curved shape like a boat on my stomach, making the house is similar to the Tower House, home or Batak traditional Minang society. The wall is made of wood, well carved with a variety of typical Toraja carvings.Another feature that is most prominent in Tongkonan is buffalo head and horns that curved beautifully arranged on a main bang in front of every house.
