Iron hooks are fixed in the walls and in the pillars: on them the pesach is hung and flayed. Whoever has no room takes one of the thin, smooth rods kept there, lays it on his own shoulder and his fellow's, hangs the animal on it and flays it. Rabbi Eliezer: when the fourteenth falls on Shabbat, each lays his hand on the other's shoulder.

Project decisionTour's choice: a lamb on the hook of a pillar of the Beit HaMitbachayim, and two men with a rod a little to the west; Israelites do the flaying, and their gestures are also a choice.
