In connection with the same windows, Mr. Rice quotes Mr. Fergusson—“The richness and variety of pattern displayed in the windows of the porch are astonishing. They are twenty-eight in number, and all are different........The pierced slabs themselves, however, are hardly so remarkable as the richly carved base on which they rest, and the deep cornice which over-shadows and protects them.” (Ep. Carnat. vol. v. part 1, Belur Taluq, no. 72, Transl. p. 61, Roman text, p. 61, line 7, Introduct. pp. xxxvi, xxxviii, xxxix).
