T.A. 01. Three glass or stone beads. One bluish-white
stone, spheroid ; one blue glass, translucent, faceted
spheroid ; one yellow glass, translucent, elongated spheroid.
All more or less chipped. Gr. M. ¹⁄₁₆″.

T.A. i. 01. Carved wooden capital nearly square in plan.
Abacus consists of five members : a 1″ fillet above a 1″
inward chamfer with quirk between ; then a flat c. ⅝″,
below which an outward chamfer, quirk and fillet similar
to those above but reversed and slightly narrower. Below
abacus and recessed about ¼″, the sides fall in flat vertical
planes 3⅛″ at corners. Thence they curve gently under
into leaf forms of bell which forms the lower part of
capital.

From the lowest point of each vertical corner to centre
of each side the line, first swelling slightly downward,
curves upward in a cyma, meeting in a point formed by
the small downward curves of the upper ends of the two
opposed cymas.

A pearl border carved ⅛″ within the edges on the flat
faces bounded by cyma curves, lower fillet of abacus and

vertical angles of capital. The pearls follow vertical line
and cyma curves, the part below fillet being plain.

Inverted bell of capital is shallow like a basin and is
composed of eight petals, alternately broad and narrow.
The four broad petals occur at corners. From bottom
of 'basin' they flow upwards in basin form for a short
distance and then bend sharply down and outward in
a convex curve to meet lower large curves of the cymas.
The intermediate narrow petals rise towards centre point
of each side of capital and roll over below meeting point
of cymas. They are deeply undercut like a pair of distended
nostrils. Each of the eight petals has the appearance of
having a second, slightly smaller petal superimposed upon
it. Midribs project in strongly marked keels. Small
recessed spaces separate petals from each other.

Under surface of capital is drilled with a 3⅛″ wide hollow,
4″ deep, to take shaft. Surface surrounding hollow, flat
(part broken away) and about 1¼″ wide. Cutting, bold
and direct with no attempt at smoothing out chisel marks.
Size 1′ 1¼″×1′ 1″× (height) 10″. Pl. XV.
