Description
The aedicular triple-arched niche at Plas Brondanw Gardens is a tall structure built from rubble, located in the center of the southeast garden wall. It stands approximately 4.5 meters high and has a similar width. The niche features three tall round-arched openings, with the central arch being slightly larger than the two on either side. Above the arches is a shaped gable topped with a broken segmental pediment. Each arch has projecting keystones, with the central arch containing a blind oculus above it. Inside the central niche, there is a life-sized classical white marble statue, likely from the 18th century. The flanking niches house life-sized busts of Roman emperors, made of terracotta and set on cement bases.
To the left of the niche, the rubble garden wall continues northeast for 15 meters, where it curves inward and ends with a stone ball finial. A plain wrought-iron gate connects the wall to the coach-house.
