The supports consisted of two pairs of diagonally crossed poles. - (Captive of Gor, Chapter 12, Sentence #256)

And then we saw it. A cart was passing, flanked by huntsmen, and slaves, bearing their burdens of gourds, flowers, nuts and fruits. On the cart, as there had been on others, there was an exhibition structure; it consisted of a horizontal pole, parallel to the axles, this one about five feet above the floor of the cart, and its supports, fixed in the sides of the wagon. The supports consisted of two pairs of diagonally crossed poles. The horizontal pole was supported by these, lying in their cradles, so to speak, crosswise, and was lashed to them. The horizontal pole was a trophy pole, now with its stanchions; the pole, peeled, was formed of a straight branch, like the other trophy poles, higher, from which had hung the skins of slain animals. In a hunting camp such a pole is commonly lashed in the branches of trees, and is used to dry skins, display catches and such. - (Captive of Gor)
