Photograph No. 4. (See paragraph 1(e))

Shows the seating for the detachable shield panel on the left side of the throne, which has evidently been fixed from behind with 10 pins or screws; it is probable that this shield was similar to that on the right side of the throne (as seen in Photograph No. 6) which bears quarterly the Royal Arms of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. A rubbing of its seating is also attached. (See Drawing No. 2).

Photograph No. 5 (See paragraph 1(f))

Shows an opening in the back of the throne which was evidently filled with an ornamental panel, as five threaded pins exist on the inside perimeter. A full-size drawing of this opening indicating the position of the pins is attached. (See Drawing No. 2).

  1. Photographs 6, 7, 8, and 9 are general views of the statue, which shows few signs of disfigurement. Drawing No. 3 gives the general dimensions of the statue.
