T h e Bluebird Frieze (9 F nws) is finished for a beam above, and both big R u n n i n g Spiral Friezes (16 F 60, 1 η F nwsw) had beams both below and above, with the lower one presumably serving as lintel for doors and windows. This is also true of one Half-rosette Metope (21 F swsw). In Hall 64 it is likely from the nature of the Battle Scene (22-30 H 64) that it was at eye-level; it has a squared edge above and a finished edge below so that it must have been set between two horizontal beams.
