3. The long panel opposite to that copied

          This measures 24” x 7¾”. It is similar 

in colour to its fellow. There is no join 

in the strips with the animals but the 

plants at each end are in separate 

sections. Colours the same as elsewhere. 

The dogs are light yellow & the lion 

a darker yellow.

 

          The faience pieces on the borders 

are set in fine plaster which shows 

at the edges. The blue-green is like 

glass in contrast to the dull quality 

of the blues & reds. The 𓂀 ] shows  <ivory[?]>

a hole from which the 

filling has dropped out. In one or

two cases where it is preserved it 

is a dull yellow (see copy) rather like

the efflorescence of the grass-like foliage. 

These petals 𓂀 ] & the fx[?]/<ai>ence seem embedded 

in a border of cement <(and the 𓂀 ] between also),>. All black border

lines are inlaid ebony. The centre is framed 

by 4 strips of ivory 1½” wide with no join except 

where they meet at the corners.
