This drawing visualizes a passage from the Rhodian that envisions cross-shaped vaults within each cluster pier. The whole vault is formed by the arches meeting, or “clasping with their fingers,” at the crown. Within this schematic drawing, Underwood repeats the form of the cross three times: the openings of the piers, the springing of the arches, and the overall plan of the church.
