Temple Enclosures: Plans and Elevations
Circular and rectangular ground plans appear beneath long architectural elevations. The circular enclosure repeats uprights around an inner ring, while the rectangular design uses a dense perimeter of small compartments. The caption groups these as ancient temple enclosures from several regions. Ancient Symbol Worship brings them together within its comparative argument; the plate does not demonstrate that all the structures had one historical origin.
