[PLATE LX., Fig 1.] Predominant among the tints are a pale blue, an olive green, and a dull yellow.

White is also largely used; brown and black are not infrequent; red is comparatively rare.

The subjects represented are either such scenes as occur upon the sculptured slabs, or else mere patterns--scrolls, honeysuckles, chevrons, gradines, guilloches, etc.

In the scenes some attempt seems to be made at representing objects in their natural colors.

The size of the figures is small; and it is difficult to imagine that any great effect could have been produced on the beholder by such minute drawings placed at such a height from the ground.
