 As with any piece of furniture, an ancestral burial tableau can be made in any shape and with any style. However, there are three main components found in all of them:
-# '''The legs''' usually represent the overall view of the family and society of the deceased. Proving our ancestors had no idealistic views of dead people, the legs of particulary evil and deranged characters are twisted, painted with dark colors and filled with accounts of their unspeakable horrors. The tableaus of good and beneficial characters have simple and elegant legs painted with a single even coat of a bright color.

This component was usually self-gratifying and most of the tableaus found are in the same style: a golden edge in an elaborate pattern (a sign of a good life), the [[tablankel]] wood polished to a bright green (a sign of good health), and in the shape of a geometrical figure. However, exceedingly strange designs have been found; most of them are credited to deranged or eccentric individuals with a more honest view about themselves.

 Most researchers have not yet been able to unearth why the fixation with furniture began, or why our ancestors would include it in their graves, but they do agree on one thing: the tableaus allow us to have a more complete view of our recent past.
