The cabinet on offer contains a moulded swan-neck pediment carved with flower heads, between which is a rather impressive carved eagle crest. |
Its most prominent feature is a projecting central pavilion with a pediment and four Doric columns. |
On the north side facing the courtyard the pediment was straight-edged, its two fellows to east and west were curved. |
The frieze in the pediment on the outside of the building is depicted below. |
I believe that things like the pediment of the Parthenon were also generated from lifecasts. |
The ocean, also rather achromatic, kissed the foundation of the towering building, spraying up to the pediment. |
