screen walls, cornice capped, rise nearly halfway up the columns,

pavilion.
On the forepart of the main deck, and facing forward, squats a
figure of a nude girl, in calcite, wig of dark grey-green hard
stone, gold ear-rings, gilt and painted armlets, and a bead

(of stained ivory), the object in her right hand is missing.
On the high aft-part of the main deck a standing and turning
sideways figure of a deformed nude girl dwarf, of calcite,
holding in both hands a punting-pole (stained ivory); wig (with
large side lock) of dark grey-green hard stone, gilt and painted
armlets, and a bead bracelet on each wrist.
