  2. Tiébélé village in Burkina Faso, home to the Kassena people. The Tiébélé royal residence is made up of clay houses hand-painted in different geometric patterns using clay paints. The patterns are an indicator of royal staus within the community. Another difference is the huts’ door sizes. The chief has the house with the smallest door, for his protection.
