mæanders

Above the relief projects also a broader fascia, on which a rich mæander has likewise been painted ; both these mæanders, it seems, were red ; above this last mæander, and separated from it by a bird’s beak moulding decorated with leaves, was another broad fascia between the beams of the roof, with a beautifully twisted palm‐leaf ornament ; upon this was an ovolo painted with eggs, and finally over this last the soffits of the roof.
