JJ-132a. CR 5.893; CN 3.50 (85-10a). Drawing. Architectural Terracottas: the Archaic and Post-Archaic Period. Revetment Plaques. The first of three fragments from revetment plaques, the type with openwork cresting. The fragments are from the same type of plaque. a) CR 5.893. Fragment of maeander. H. 8.8, W. 3.8, gr. Th. 2.8. Clay is coarse with large mauve inclusions, pale brown (7.5YR 7/6 - 2.5Y 8/3) and yellow-greenish (10YR 7/4), large brown and red inclusions. Painted colours, white wash which comes off at the touch, dark brown-purple. b) CN 3.50 (N 85 10A.2). Fragment of maeander. H. 6.9, W. 3.5, gr. Th. 1.9. Clay is very similar to a), though sligthly more red. Paint: white as above, no red preserved. c) CN 3.50 (N 85 10A.1). Fragment of maeander, part of upper or lower border, with part of the frieze bordering on the maeander. H. 6.5, W. 5.2, gr. Th. 2.9. Clay as above, colours – white as a) and b) above, purple-brown as a) above, and green (GLEY1 6/5G). The three fragments are most likely from the same openwork cresting. There are some discrepances in the measurements, but this is probably characteristic for that type of revetment plaques. For the type of cresting with the open-work maeander with square, framed panels carrying a four-petalled rosettes, petals placed obliquely, see the open-work cresting from the at Alatri: Andrén 1940, p. 392.6, pl. 119:422. The type of petal in the Alatri crest plaques is different, but similar in the Luni plaques: Frova 1973, p. 746.10, pl. 192.4, p. 798, pl. 194.1.
