Roof section

The roof, as aforesaid - round fronted with slight slope
towards the back and vertical sides and end - is made up in
two sections. Their meeting edges in the centre where they
join together are rebated, and for convenience of transport as
well as for lowering them onto the upper surface of the
members of the cavetto cornice, to which they are tongued,
they each have four (two on each side) silver coated copper
handles of staple-like form. Their tongues, mortised to the
cornice members, are made of wood & copper alternate. Thus
their two sections serve a double purpose - while forming the
actual roof of the shrine, they hold in place the crowning
members of its entablature.
