Special paper-cuts were made on the occasion of different festivals to decorate the house, synagogue, or in this case, the Sukah. The ones produced for Sukoth would often depict the Ushpizin: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Aaron and David. See J. & Y. Shadur, Jewish Papercuts (1994) pp. 50-1, fig. 81.
