> N.B. a wall decoration, not a ritual; lit. "ancestor's skin."  A {no' Dir} is displayed in the SepIch Rite of Ascension chamber during Pok's {lopno'} celebration.  It is a tapestry with three columns on it: the outer two have pIqaD characters in all of it, but the middle one only has a couple, possibly the names of former members of the House of SepIch.
