Good morning steemians.

This is the form of Bolon house that is custom house of batak tribe in central tapanuli north sumatra, this house I photograph when I travel to lake toba.

This bolon house in the form of rectangles denhan design inside without room or divider separator.

The roof is triangular with each top of the triangle decorated with buffalo head as a symbol of the welfare of the owner.

Currently, the bolon house is not built by the Batak community because of its high cost and hard-to-get material.

Such is the story of traditional batak house this time, on another occasion I will share about the custom house of other tribes that exist in Indonesia.

Thank you for visiting my blog.
