head of the seated figure hangs a hall: on either side of this
group is a pilaster or column of white marhle, round which a
sash is tied; behind these columns appear the side walls of
the herdon, painted red with a line of helix in white ; the
ceiling is formed of parallel transverse beams resting on an
architrave and drawn with a rude attempt at perspective, the
ends of the cross beams over the entrance of the herdon being
drawn above the architrave on which they rest, the other and
more distant ends being drawn below it; the ends of these
cross beams are shown over the architrave alternate with
narrower metope spaces ; above this row of cross beams is a
cornice parallel with the architrave ; both these members,
together with the ends of the cross beams, are painted white ;
the whole building is surmounted by a pair of volutes diverg-
ing from one centre ; out of these spring three honeysuckle
ornaments, anthemia; the base of the Mroon is shaped like
an anvil, and is ornamented with the Mseander pattern, in
which are set three stars, white on a red ground ; above this
part of the base is a plinth of white marble forming the floor of
the herdon, and ornamented with a yellow fillet; the ground
outside the building is indicated by irregular dotted lines ;
here and there are flowers and small lumps, probably rocks.
