CHAPTER II
34/124

At the Ramesseum, the shaft and capital measure 35 feet, and the spring diameter is 6-1/2 feet.

The lotus-bud or clustered column gives similar results.

At Karnak, in the aisles of the hypostyle hall, the capital is 10 feet high, the shaft 33 feet, and the base diameter 6-3/4 feet.

At the Ramesseum, the capital is 5- 1/2 feet high, the shaft 24-1/2 feet, and the base diameter 5 feet 10 inches.

We find the same irregularity as to architraves.
