The architrave of a perfect Renaissance arch has rotted to the texture of old peach stone. |
The temple is rendered in the abbreviated form, usual in vase paintings, consisting of a Doric column and architrave. |
The Doric architrave framing the door and the carved cornice are both wood. |
The floor area inside the entry was lowered to match the exterior grade and new tooled-limestone surrounds extended the doorway architrave. |
We follow Leake in believing that the architrave is too small to have formed part of a temple, including the one on Temple Hill. |
The architrave includes a Greek key design and other symbols, and the side archivolts are decorated with acanthus leaves. |
