Notes
The first of the three designs is closest to the executed design [2] and [3]. That is, a slightly tapered tablet crowned by a pediment with two quarter-lotus stops at the top and (later designs) a band of scrolled foliage at the bottom. The variant designs are not tapered: desiign 2 has an arched pediment stopped by two large scrolls while desgin 3 is the least succesful and is a version of design 1.
