Machu Picchu. Princess Group. House 856 showing southwest corner exterior from just inside the city wall. The further gable is the south gable of house 841. Notice on the left the partitions between 855 and 840. These were capped with flat stones and seem to have had mud on top of them. In the right hand gable over the window is a small ventilating window. Notice also the projecting cylindrical stones which show more distinctly in 3135. At the extreme right is shown a corner of the city wall. This house was probably stuccoed or plastered with mud. At any rate, the stones are roughly squared and laid in mud.
