- Description
- The main design is in the center. It is similar to that in 1938-88-1279 above at left. The plan is below. Beside its upper part and at left: a sarcophagus is supported by figures standing upon steps: a figure sits upon its cover. The elevation of a niche with a monument in the shape of a column with figures below and with a candelabrum, below a canopy. Beside the chapel is a similar design without canopy. Partly drawn over it is a variation of the design below at left in 1938-88-1279. Two other similar designs are above at right, the lower of which suggests an urn instead of the sarcophagus. These designs are drawn over parts of a candelabrum with many arms.
