Gher

Animal skin-lined homes that have provided shelter during frigid winters and cool shade during scorching summer days for several millenia. A roof flap can be removed to make room for a central stovepipe or to provide extra daylight. In addition, the home can be broken down for transport in a matter of hours, useful for the pastoral nomadic lifestyle, in which herdsmen will dwell in one place as long as good weather and adequate grass for flocks permit.
