divisions or sections or panels Explanation: These reredos are usually divided into sections above altars. If you look at the sites in Spanish, the calles refers to the sections, it seems to me..it would help to see a picture of this one. Couldn't find one...but others clearly show a box-like structure..Like an open-faced vertical box, some have five panels across..the division between each is a calle..I think... this probably won't help you although it seems clear that this is merely a way of speaking of framework of the reredos... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 mins (2005-07-23 22:59:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- There are vertical and horizontal divisions..when you look at them straight on, they can look like so many boxes where what creates the impression of the sides are columns separating the religious statues..the horizontal ones I think are the calles... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2005-07-23 23:00:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- whoops, I meant the vertical ones.. |_||_||_| |_||_||_| does this work? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 mins (2005-07-23 23:02:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- |_| |_||_||_| |_||_||_| |_||_||_| |_||_||_| OK...the calles are the vertical separations..I think in English, one would say sections or frames. In Spanish,they would say \"dos calles\" in my example, and we would say, three sections.. cheers..don\'t know if this helps but that is what I understood -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2005-07-23 23:03:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The first box should be in the middle..so the overall thing is /\\ |
