The Croesus Structure. 279
Diameter of egg and dart astragal to top of shaft, i '534.
Echinus; diameter of bed, 1 ■ 436.
Echinus; greatest diameter, 1*732.
Echinus ; projection from bed, 1' 48
The number of leaves and darts to the circumference is twenty-two. A leaf is in the centre ; the
leaves on either hand are clear; the next take the palmettes; the remainder are under the cushions.
The echinus is restored from a small fragment restored by Dr. A. S. Murray; the leaves are of a
form differing from those of the torus bases and abaci in that their surfaces are convex with centre
line receding, and have no bounding fillet.
(c) Various dimensions.
Distance of reels apart, 1 ■ 272.
Length of capital, 3 • 21 o.
The pulvinar shows a batter, leaning outwards at top (Atlas VIII.), -056.
Width at bottom, 1 '094.
Width at top, 1 ■ 206.
Length of abacus, 23 leaves, 2-360.
Width of abacus, 12 leaves, 1*316.
The leaves of the rosette in the reel have been pointed conjecturally to be in keeping with the
rest of the design. The pulvinars of the volutes are similar in character to those described before.
Greatest dimensions of capital: length, 3'2ro; breadth, 1*316; height, 1*096.
(d) Dimensions of the capital in Ep/iesus Room, British Museum.
Diameter of shaft, 1 * 060.
Length of capital, 2*890.
Diameter of echinus, 1 '450.
Diameter of bed of echinus, 1*250.
(e) Bed of another echinus, 1 * 20.
Atlas VIII.
Fragment of Rosette and Sections (Restored) of Volute and Rosette Capitals (Atlas VI. and VII.).
Fragment of rosette.
A small fragment which may have been the eye of a pulvinar.
The leaves are slightly concave, and the boss does not rise higher than the outside of the petals.
Number of darts to the circumference, 12.
Diameter, *i6.
Diameter of boss, '039.
Sections (restored) of volute and rosette capitals. For description, see Atlas VI and VII.
Atlas IX.
Various fragments of Pulvinar and Bed-moulding of Cornice (large fragment).
Various fragments of pulvinar.
A. Small fragment of pulvinar of volute.
The underface of a right-hand volute, showing dart springing from the parting of the pulvinar
roll, and the volute roll.
