288 FIELD 03? HADJI CAPTAN.
The female figure, probably Amphitrite, was
represented spreading out her long hair over her
shoulders. The centre part of the design was
formed of squares, intersecting so as to form
crosses and smaller squares. The colours used are
red, crimson, blue, and yellow.
The eastern compartment was a square, in which
was inscribed a circular pattern, composed of a
guilloche plait, interlaced with a band of lozenge
pattern. In the circles formed by these interlacings
were, alternately, a square and flower. In the
centre of the design was a guilloche knot. The
colours used in this pattern are red, crimson,
blue, and yellow.
At the eastern end of this room two steps,
8 inches deep, led clown to the lower level of Room
D, and Passages A and B. On one of these steps
was a mosaic of fish, remarkable for the excellence
of the drawing and colouring.
Room E.
This is a narrow strip, lying north of Room C, in
length 14' by 6' 3" in width.—(See Plan.)
The design Avas contained in an oblong com-
partment, bounded by a frame formed by the
interlacing of a guilloche plait, a band striped in
several colours, and a zigzag band. These in-
terlacings were continued from the frame, over
the inner area of the compartment, so as to form
three loops, within each of which Avas a circular
medallion.
