Text Appearing Before Image:
, white, far more beautiful, but always in such small-sized pieces that only curious and dainty articles could be made ofit. Often it was worked down so thin that when polished it wastransparent, and showed its beautiful patterns as if they were ina pane of glass. The Pavonaceous maple was that rare grain whose elegantcurls and undulations imitated the eyes of a peacocks tail.Workers in maple wood ranked with jewellers and goldsmiths.They made tables with the most beautiful colours and patternsrevealed by their polished tops. For such a table Cicero paidten thousand sesterces. It showed curious spots and macula-tions in the natural grain which imitated the colours and shapesof tigers and panthers! One of the Ptolemies had a circulartable three inches thick and four feet and a half in diameter forwhich he gave its weight in gold! Fifteen hundred thousandsesterces—$60,000—paid by this emperor for a single table,probably represents the limit to which this extravagance wascarried. 380
Text Appearing After Image:
