Imposed over these horizontal registers is the vertical register of the entry columns. This is derived from the oldest 'architectural' column, those in Catal Huyuk. These were made from two bull's horns fixed to a stumpy pilaster of mud. The colour of the horns is 'bull's blood', the colour of sacrifice. The horns are given the 'feathery scales' of wings, so that they are also 'winged bulls'. They are fixed to a column, in this case rendered as a cube, the figure of the earth. This cube is contra-rotated so as to both rotate the figure and help it to 'fly'. As with contra-rotation does in propellors, this stabilises flight!.
