It can be compared only with the framework of a house with the struts to carry the roof dunning lengthwise from one end to the other and bent at each end to fit into copper hoops inserted in the woodwork of the front and back sup- ports. The catafalque rests on carved feet at either end, its sections joined with copper hoops still tied up with string, as left by the undertakers to royalty thirty centuries ago. Paint Peeling Of.
