Summary
| Description |
A narrow, semi-circular frieze consisting of thirteen small reptile relief panels located just above the carved columns of the Reptile House Entrance. The entrance to Reptile House (IAS 08700020) features elaborately carved capitals and columns resting on turtles and surmounted by gargoyle-like frogs. Above each frog is a giant lizard. Beyond the columns, in the inner section of the portico, there are three mosaic-tiled arches. Beyond the arches, there are two wooden doors carved with reptile relief panels. The doors are adorned with brass door handles formed by entwined snakes. Just above the doors, there is a semi-circular mosaic of a dinosaur (IAS 08700023).
