Paved The broader section of paved way that abuts on the middle of the
heading Southern flight of the 'Theatral Area' ascended the slope to the South of
for N.W. jt heaclinsr for a trap that existed between the North-Westernmost Palace
Corner & & l
and West Angle and the Treasure House to be described below. It had to pass through
this avenue to reach the West Court and its ultimate destination beyond.
Beyond the diagonal path that crossed this road immediately on its
leaving the South wing of the ' Theatral Area ', the pavement shows signs of
having stepped up, but the traces of the main paved way disappear shortly
above this point owing to the great denudation of that part of the site. Of
the two Palace angles, indeed, that here project on that side, there are visible
only the small foundation blocks on which, in places, a few base slabs
Lar^e rest (see Fig. 367). One outstanding feature, however, on the otherwise
gypsum bare slope is a large gypsum block of a remarkable shape resembling a half
arch—familiarly known as the ' Grand Piano'—and well provided with
Sanctuary Hall; Half-rosette and Tkiglvpii Bands.
