One set of standards are rostral columns twined with laurel, and each supporting a galley ; above the others are seagulls. The border device is of dolphins. The reliefs of the Seasons are repeated here. (See Soutiiwest Pavilion. ) The Latin names are employed; Ver, /Estas, Auctumnus, Hiems. The Sun, as the chariot of Phoebus-Apollo, is the central decoration of the ceiling ; and surrounding it, in order corresponding with the wall panels, are further sym- bolizations of the Elements. Earth is t...ypified by a reclining womaHv with scythe and plow ; and again by the world-supporting tortoise of East Indian mythology. Air, by a female figure transported on eagle's back amid the clouds; and again by a swan. Water, by a mermaid riding on a dolphin ; and by dol- phins. Fire, by a woman with a brazier (the landscape Vesuvius), and by a lamp. The border shows the Signs of the Zodiac. 20. Northeast Pavilion — Second Floor. The Seals of the United States and the Executive Departments are the motives of the decorations by W.
