The Trapezoid is treated either as an upright panel, the centralaxis being perpendicular to the two parallels; or the ornamentationapproaches that of a bi-axial Oblong panel; but it will be somewhatmodified, to fit the angles (Plate 170. 4 and 5). This latter cir-cumstance has also to be taken into consideration in the case of aright-angled Triangle of unequal sides, when the line of bisection ofthe right-angle is used as the axis of symmetry (Plate 170. 6); anunsymmetrical arrangement is best in this case, see figures 7 to 9 onthe same plate.
