Close view of shrine, with Buddha image within: 'Another example not far off is shown in the third photograph. An alabaster image is seen seated on a throne adorned with glass mosaic, while the background of the recess is of the same material. The whole of the front of the shrine is similarly ornamented. The upper portion of the exterior work consists of bold and effective scrolls placed on a bed of slips of narrow plain looking-glass. White glass is also the chief material used in the foliage work where there are occasional leaves of purple, of green and of dull orange. The background of the pillars is in dark green on which are crimson stars and purple ornaments.'
