 The modest wood building then known as Manjakamiadana was also called Felatanambola ("Silver Hands") for the hand-shaped sculptures crafted from melted silver piastres and attached to each of the building's four "tandrotrano" (roof horns)—an architectural design element formed from the crossed gable beams that extended past the roof line of all traditional aristocratic Merina houses.Felatanambola's decorative silver hands were later affixed to the roof horns of Besakana.Another distinctive building from this period was called Bevato ("Many Stones") because its foundation was atypically composed of stone blocks.
