The
Circular
Panel.
(Plates 157—160.)
The
Circle
may be
regarded as a
polygon of
an infinite
number
of
sides.
As it
is
impossible
to
take this infinite
number into account,
it is
usual, when
working
on
radial axes to
divide
the Circle
into
3, 4,
5, 6, 8,
10, 12,
or
16,
similar parts, as
indicated in
the
figures.
Another principle of
frequent
application is
that
of division into
Zones; each
ring-like band
hieing
ornamented
independently. This
principle
predominates
in the
so-called
archaic
styles,
e.
g.
on Etruscan
and Assyrian shields
(Plate 157.
2,
4,
and
5).
This
principle is ex-
cellently adapted to
the
decoration
of dishes
and plates,
the
profiling
of
which
naturally
points to
a
zonal division-
The
centre of the
Circle,
which is
sometimes
decorated by a
rosette,
may
also
be
filled
by
some
feature
which is
symmetrical to
one axis or is
unsym-
metrical
(Plate 157.
4).
The
latter
mode of
decoration
has also been
adopted,
although
in
comparatively
rarer cases,
for
the decoration
of
the
Circle
as
a
whole.
Geometrical
sub-division
of the
circle, by the
insertion
of
poly-
gons,
or arcs,
is
common, not
only
in Gothic
tracery,
which is
specially
dependent
on
these
processes,
but
in
every other
style (comp.
the
tracery
panels 7
and
8
on
Plate
158,
and the niello
ornaments
7
and 8
on
Plate
159).
In
many cases,
the circular
panel is
decorated
by
an
ornament
which is
merely
an enlarged Rosette
or
Cieling-
flower, so
that no
clear
line can
be
drawn
between the two
classes,
(compare
what ias
been said
of the
Rosette on
p.
191).
