at C. down to the point is the section of flower plinths
round upper and lower arch and round sarcophagus; and
below; of sarcophagus paved with gabled dentil
The lions heads which carry sarcophagus bracket are the
fine type of Dog palace vulgarized by a bad workman.
They have the bristly ear, but are withered and door
knockered E.G. book is section of niche. But the
figures - especially the central bas relief are vile
throughout, and above the lions or under Niches i.e.
at d No 23 (holding doors not unlike Dog palace): there is
the late bracket moulding, an important feature. The
Sarcophagus small shaft capitals are like Steve’s. The
whole thing is late - worked by a bad workman from earlier
types.
The red spaces between arches are rudely painted.
The crockets above are detached spaces of stone barred
and cemented on to plain archivolt and utterly vile in
cutting. Those of the niches, each one small leaf with an
outer rib on the angle of hexagonal pyramid.
