Of the ridge-pole and eaves only the incised lines, which served as a guide for the painter, together with some mud-colored traces and bits of brownish yellow, remain. The side of the roof is represented by a broad band at the left, having the form of a double curve (inverted cyma reversa), and a similar band at the right. On both bands only scanty traces of paint remain. From above the lower front corner of the roof a sort of acroterion projects obliquely upward, and from the front of the ridg...epole a sort of anthemion resembling a bunch of grass, projects forward horizontally. At the same end of the ridgepole there is an upright ornament consisting of a sort of bulb or pod bisected vertically by a line which ends above the top in an over-hanging flower with thickened stem. The outside of the bulb is dark red with whitish edges. The interior is the red of the background. The roof is sup- ported by three columns, one of which, beneath the front, has been mentioned above as resting on the top of the vegetable column at the right of the apse ; another is a plain slender Ionic column extending from 1 Of the lower end of this column which passed in front of the top of the apse only faint outlines remain.
