Located at the ends of the triangular roof of the Parthenon, the pediment sculptures were carved larger than life and are thought to depict two legends of the Greek goddess Athena. They were carved in the round, and would have stood 5 meters at the highest point. Many of the pediment sculptures exist only as fragments. In the Basel Skulpturhalle, the casts of these fragments have been placed in Styrofoam reconstructions of the missing pieces, and these are included in the scans. The pediment sculptures were only scanned from the front, and at low resolution. Please note that these are low-res models at 10% of the scanned polygons.
