This often has two or three sides and turns to allow the singers to more easily use the numerous liturgical books during the services. There is an older Greek design for this type of analogion that is octagonal with a flat top instead of slanted. This style is still found in use on Mount Athos and at other ancient monasteries throughout the world. Sometimes this type of analogion is intricately inlaid with mother of pearl or other semi-precious materials. A similar piece of furniture called the tetrapod is a table which can be set in the center of the church, usually covered with a cloth, and upon which objects are placed to be blessed.
