Note Side panels of First (innermost) Shrine No. 239
(b)

The horizontal boards forming the frieze (top rail) panel and
dado (bottom rail) of the side sections are joined up with
either square or rebated glued joints, and are strengthened
with cross-grained tongues inserted at intervals along the
joints. The tenons at the ends of the horizontal bands, cut
parallel to the grain (fibres) have been made sufficiently
long to pass through the mortise holes of the upright end
clamps, and protrude for insertion into corresponding mortise
holes in the style of the corner posts. The meeting edges of
the clamps & styles of the corner posts are rebated.
