The facade, as it now stands, exhibits four broad pilasters and four pillars, alternating in pairs, excepting that, as in the smaller temples, pilasters occupy both corners.

In two cases, the base of the pilaster is carved into the figure of a winged bull, closely resembling the bulls which commonly guarded the outer gates of palaces.

In the other two the base is plain--a piece of negligence, probably, on the part of the artist.

The four pillars all exhibit a rounded base, nearly though not quite similar to that of the pillars in No.

V.; and this rounded base in every case rests upon the back of a walking lion.
