Notes
This drawing is one of three which deal with the tribunal's canopy in the Court of Chancery (see SM 53/2/61 - 63). The details for ornamentation, such as rosettes in the recessed circular and square panels, have been indicated. The left pendant over the central span of the canopy appears to have been sketched over (in pen) by Soane; adding foliage details to the panels and a covex conoid. The last detail Papendiek has worked up with fluting and an acorn on the adjacent pendant.
