Houman would introduce Willis to masters of other crafts, including zellige (glazed tile mosaic), gebs (carved and incised whiteplaster) and mashrabiya (intricately carved cedar for pierced screens).
The frieze, a mix of honey-coloured marble panels and glaring whiteplaster casts of pieces in the BM, shows a procession of worshippers carrying offerings to Athena, the temple goddess.
Outside, the terraced garden of olive trees seems especially peaceful, while from atop the hill behind the house, The Christ of Trash (a large sculpture that looks exactly like it sounds) and the whiteplaster eggs that top the walls can be seen.
