Bottom of casket (02) orn. with a pair of lines round edge
and another pair 1¼″ within, the lines of each pair being
about ¾″ apart. At each corner was a hemispherical
bronze boss with projecting flange at base, of which one
boss is in position, one disconnected (L.M. i. ii. 07), and

R. and L. of each, is small painted crescent. Field shows
no orn.

to angles of about 40° with longest edges. On 03 are
traces of painted grotesque animals and clouds of type
similar to those on top, within border of double lines.
