WOOD CARVED PANEL, LA CASA NUEVA LIBRARY DOOR TO MAIN HALL
Color: Black; White
A black and white photograph of a wood carved panel from a door in the La Casa Nueva Library to the main hall, ca. 1978. Consisting of two photographs taped together, the panel, at the center, just above the handle, shows the coat-of-arms of the Temple family with a martlet on top of a crown at the top; a bird's head above a shield with eagles on two fields and two rows of three birds in the other two fields; and a scroll at the bottom with the words "TEMPLA QUAM DILECTA" All round the coat are stylized curved designs resembling vines and leaves. On the reverse, stamped in black ink, is "Received/Jan 3 1979/By/Raymond Girvigian, FAIA/Box 220, 1414 Fair Oaks/South Pasadena, Cal. 91030/213/682-3848." Written at the top left reverse in blue ink is "Missing Library Door, Carving / Full Scale." With pressure-sensitive tape; two tears, one at the center right edge and the other at the top center edge; and creases, the artifact is in fair condition.
