A 20 foot high corbeled arch stands here, at first glance the arch
resembles the work you have seen repeated throughout the palace, however the
lower level portion of it are filled capriciously with geometrical shapes
used purely as a ornamental function.  Blocking the view to your east is a
large doric order column.  It is one of the six that holds the structure
together and darkens the hallway considerably.  The marbled corridor
continues north and south.
