, yellow, turquoise, blue, green, and opaquered. The whole work has the air of a skilful imita-tion in cheaper materials of a more expensiveshrine. The jewels are poor, being mostly ame-thysts and cornelians, and in some cases bits ofglass. There is also gilt filigree work. The shrine of St. Benignus at Siegburg is nearlythree feet long, and has beautiful enamelled pillars.The gilt work of the gables is very fine. The shrine of St. Mauritius and Innocentius,also at Siegburg, has most exquisite pillars. Theway in which the enamel begins with blue, meltingthrough turquoise into white, is very effective. Thepanels are all unfortunately empty, the silver figureshaving been plundered. A very fine shrine of St. Honoratus, also atSiegburg, has been more fortunate, for nearly allthe figures are intact. The parish church of St. Ursula at Cologne con-tains the shrine of St. Ursula. The colours of theenamels are very fine, and they are put in juxta-position in the Champlev6s without the use of76
