TREATMENT Ol- JOISTS IX A CICILIXc;. 7y A ceilinij may have the joists or beams visible upon it : in this case thedecoration would have to be of a very special character. The bottoms of the joists. might have a string pattern upon them (a running pattern), as the Greek kej, orguilloehc ; whilst the sides might have either a running pattern, or a pattern withan upward tendency, as the Greek honejsueklej and the ceiling intervening so OK BKSIOK. between the joists might have a running pattern, or better, a star, or diaper pattern,or it might have l)ands running in the opposite direction to the joists,.so as, withthem, to form s(|uaves, wliioh squares might be tilled with ornament.
