Northeast Wall

Northeast Wall

Fragment preserving part of the inner layer dado on this wall; of the outer layer little remains and the traces of decoration consist only of a few bands of color which might be the stumps of arcs. But the inner layer is elegantly laid out with a refinement of the regular arc dado: red uprights come at intervals of ca. 0.28 m., and in the resulting panels, the quarter arcs in opposite corners meet more nearly in the center than on the rectangular panels. The arc colors are now a faded red, white, pink and blue; the lines are red, both scallop and ripple.
