Nice images.  Paris in his Eastern finery.  The ceiling painting is an exciting find - even rarer than wall paintings.

We watched this on the BBC this morning - Fantastic quality to the artwork. I thought the ceiling painting looked almost modern in the way it was rendered with board strokes of colour giving character to the design - compare the very staid neat accuracy of the wall paintings.
