Summary edit

Description
English: The Grammar of Ornament:

Pl. X: Egyptian No. 7 (1-5. From mummy cases in the Louvre, at a late period. Geometrical arrangements of the single lotus-leaf. 6. from a tomb at Thebes. Each circle is formed of four lotus-flowers and four buds, the intermediate star probably intended for four lotus-leaves. 7 From a tomb at Thebes. 8, 9. From a mummy case. 10-24. From ceilings of tombs in various parts of Egypt. In nos. 10, 13-16, 18-23, are various examples of an ornament representing the unwinding of a pile of rope, which may have given the first suggestion of the volute. In no. 24 the continuous blue line is evidently from the same type.) Owen Jones (British designer, 1809-1874)
