There is also preserved at Newbattle the seated figure of an ecclesiastic, holding a book on his knee (Fig. 656). It is probably a work of the fourteenth or fifteenth century, as in the earlier years of Cistercian rule figure representations were prohibited; and the little rosette ornament seen on the sedilia indicates that period. The head is unfortunately broken, but the figure otherwise is beautifully preserved. The total [Illustration: FIG. 657.--Newbattle Abbey. Details of Mouldings.] [Illustration: FIG. 658.--Newbattle Abbey. Details of Doorway, &c.] height of the fragment is about 27¼ inches, and the breadth about 15 inches, with a relief of about 5 inches. [Illustration: FIG. 659.--Newbattle Abbey. Mouldings of Doorway.] [Illustration: FIG. 660.--Newbattle Abbey. Details of Mouldings.] A number of stones containing mouldings have been found, some of the sections of which are shown. Some of the mouldings (as in Figs. 657, 658, and 659) are early, while the other mouldings (as in Figs. 660, 661, and 662) are for the most part late. It is not known to what parts of the [Illustration: FIG. 661.--Newbattle Abbey. Details of Mouldings.] [Illustration: FIG. 662.--Newbattle Abbey. Vaulting Ribs.] [Illustration: FIG. 663.--Newbattle Abbey. Cap and Base of Doorway.] building any of these details belonged, except in the case of Fig. 659, which is from the doorway at the west end of the refectory. The door entered from the western cloister walk, and is partly _in situ_. Fig. 663 represents a cap and base supposed to belong to the nave arcade, from their having been found in the nave. Fig. 660 gives a series of arch mouldings, one of them being a window, with its mullion. The door jamb, with its base mouldings (Fig. 661), is probably a fifteenth or sixteenth century piece of work. [Illustration: FIG. 664.--Newbattle Abbey. Details of Tiles. A. An Olive-Green Ground, White Pattern. B. A Red Pattern on a White Ground. The different colours are done in the surface glazing. It is put on about ⅛ inch thick, and the thickness of the tiles from 1¼ to 1½ inch.] [Illustration: FIG. 665.--Newbattle Abbey. Details of Tiles. Ground Dark Green. Yellow Pattern, on a cut out Tile.] Fig. 662 shows a series of vaulting ribs, the two upper ones being of a somewhat early date, while the others are later in character. Many tiles have been found in the ruins, which are now preserved in the house; and a few of them are illustrated. In Fig. 664 we have two square tiles, the lesser one having an olive-green ground with a white pattern; the larger one is a red pattern on a white ground. Those shown on Figs. 665 and 666 are shaped tiles, cut out by hand to the actual form of the figure, so that each separate tile is of one colour--in Fig. 665 it is a dark green ground with a yellow figure, and on Fig. 666 a black and brown ground with a white figure.
