Summary edit

Description
English: The Grammar of Ornament:

Pl. VIII: Egyptian No. 5 (The whole of the ornaments on this plate are from mummy-cases in the British Museum and the Louvre, and like those of the last plate are mostly composed of the lotus-flower and single leaves of the same plant. In number 2, above the lotus-leaves, is a white ornament on a black ground, very common in the tombs, suggested by the interwoven strands of a rope; and no. 7 we have the chequered pattern, one of the earliest ornaments, evidently derived from the weaving together of different-coloured strands. In the lower part of no. 18 we have another very common ornament, derived from feathers.)
