Example: <objectDesc> (object description)
These search results reproduce every example of the use of <objectDesc> in the Guidelines, including all localised and translated versions. In some cases, the examples have been drawn from discussion of other elements in the Guidelines and illustrating the use of <objectDesc> is not the main focus of the passage in question. In other cases, examples may be direct translations of each other, and hence identical from the perspective of their encoding.

<msName>Letter of Carl Maria von Weber to Caroline Brandt. Dresden, 21st to 23rd May 1817 </msName>
</msIdentifier>
<history>
<p>The second part of the letter (Weberiana Cl.II A a 2, 9) was given to Friedrich Jähns by Caroline von Weber,
the widow of Carl Maria von Weber. Jähns then handed this fragment over to the Berlin state library in 1881,
whereas the first part (Mus.ep. Weber, C. M. v. 96) remained with the family estate and found its way into the library not until 1956.
Yet, the identification was already obvious to Jähns who noted <quote>Zu No. 50. 21. Mai 1817 gehörig</quote>
at the top of his fragment.</p>

<p>The Central Library encompasses an area of <dim unit="m" quantity="16000"
type="area">16 thousand square
meters</dim> and is built on a three meter platform. The base contains two <material>basalt</material>
<objectType>fountains</objectType> and <objectType>decorative reliefs</objectType> inspired by
pre-Hispanic art.</p>
<p>The library has ten windowless floors for book storage, each having enough space for 120 thousand volumes.
These storage areas have the necessary lighting, temperature and humidty conditions for book conservation.
In the reading room, flanked by a garden on each side, the diffuse and matte light is filtered through
<material>thin tecali stone slabs</material>. The semi-basement of the building contains the service
and administrative offices of the library.</p>
<p>The building facades are covered with one of the largest murals in the world and is made from naturally
colored stone tiles. It is entitled <title>Historical Representation of Culture</title> and is by
<persName role="artist">Juan O'Gorman</persName>.</p>
</objectDesc>
<decoDesc>
<decoNote>
<label>Base</label> At the base of the building there are two basalt fountains and decorative reliefs
around the outside that are inspired by pre-Hispanic art. The color of the stone in these elements is left
exposed to take advantage of the stone's texture as an aesthetic and expressive element, and to give a
sense of continuity to the external pavement.</decoNote>
<decoNote>
<label>Murals</label>
<p>The outside windowless portion of the building contains one of the largest murals in the world. This is
called <title>Historical Representation of the Culture</title> and is a <material>stone polychromatic
mosaic</material> based on the combination of 12 basic colors. The mural is created in an
impressionist style where the coloured tiles when seen from a distance form specific figures. The 12
colors where chosen from 150 samples of original stones with the criteria including the stone's
resistance to degredation by weather. According to the artist, <persName role="artist">Juan
O'Gorman</persName>, in the mosaic he represented three fundamental historical facets of the Mexican
culture: the pre-Hispanic era, the Spanish colonial era, and the modern age. For example with the North
Wall, this represents the pre-Hispanic era and is dominated by mythical elements relating to the
life-death duality. The left side of the main axis there are
deities and scenes pertaining to the creation of life. The right hand side of the mural contains figures
relating to death. For a more detailed description see <ref target="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Library_(UNAM)#Murals">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Library_(UNAM)#Murals</ref>.</p>
