123. PARTS OF A PORTABLE PAVILION
POSITION: - SCATTERED ABOUT THE ANTECHAMBER AND ANNEXE
DISCOVERED IN THE FOLLOWING GROUPS: - 620-(118), 511, 465, 438.
FOR DETAILS SEE NOTES ATTACHED
The four slender columns (Nos. 438, 465), the framework of a canopy (No. 123), and the two
cross-bars (No. 123), obviously belong to a travelling or portable pavilion, but a large portion
of the construction seems to be missing:- namely, the base, the chair or stool, the roof, and the
metal work. A quantity of slats, some of them hinged, from their workmanship, seem to
belong to this pavilion, but exactly what they formed is not clear. They may possibly belong to
some kind of awning ??? The footstool (No. 511) also seems to belong to it.
Note The missing parts were probably of metal, or bore a quantity of metal, for there seems no
other reason for the plunderers to have stolen them.
