On the left end a join protrudes on one edge (This would hold part 13 in place). There is a sticker in the middle of this face which is marked 'LXI'.
The top face has a narrow baton running along the front between the two square holes. In the centre, is a small rectangular slot. There is another such slot on the right end (joints protruding from part 24 slot into these). | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Subjects: | wood temple archs | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-229038 |
