Reading edition

Almagro Cardenas calls it “part of a celosía” (Museo Granadino, p. 79); but as it can never have been a window-grating, this term is incorrect. Gómez Moreno calls it, not too lucidly, “a wooden balustrade forming squares and rectangular figures in the manner of a celosía” (Guía de Granada, p. 421). Valladar (Guía de Granada, edition of 1906, p. 117) calls it simply a balustrade, and this, it seems to me, is the only term which truthfully describes the object.
