 Some More on the Palace
The rotunda and chandelier in the center of Al-Faw is the focal point of the palace, it boasts 256 lights. At one time it could be lowered of raised. A catwalk is located above the chandelier. People who view the chandelier suspension decide never to walk under it again. It does not strike them as well supported. Again - -the chandelier, as with many things in the palace is deceiving. It looks like solid glass but is in fact an intricate lattice work of glass and plastic.
