The general effect of the \*pietra dura\* decoration is well shown (so far as it can be without colour) in Plate CVI, which represents one of the white marble turrets at the corners of the tomb. The older style of marble mosaic is seen in the lower panels. - [Previous: c19.s5.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c19.s5.5) - [Next: c19.s5.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c19.s5.7) - [Up: c19.s5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c19.s5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c19.s5.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c19.s5.6) · Pramāṇa
