as the great linen pail sewn with
golden rosettes, that hung over a
rack so as to surround the second
shrine. The sides of the outer shrine
still remain and one is able to get
an idea not only of the prodigious
size Of the exterior shrine, but also
Of the remarkable dimensions Of the
second.
Were the second shrine and its. as

one would find oneself standing In

outer shrine, large enough to contain
a good sized altar.
The walls are exQuisttely decorated
with hieroglyphics, lightly fncised In

black lines. The simile of the chapel
is strengthened by the appearance OF
