Houses of Paliament, London, heraldic panel
Houses of Paliament, London,  heraldic panel

This panel shows some of the techniques used to make architectural carving more legible from ground level: deep relief creates strong shadows, and there is a bold stylisation of the leading motifs. The lettering on the scroll is raised, and the forms are given additional definition with a narrow groove around the bottom edges.
