The images of the metopes were developed from J. Carrey's work in The Carry Drawings of the Parthenon, 1674. The ceiling roofed by a beam structure was assumed to be solid. Both the roof and ceiling were modeled as timber structures. The inner naos also was judged from the drawing to be one step down. The floor was marble whose reflections are shown on the model.
Lights enter from the eastern door.
