In the center of the garden is a pond surrounded by sycamore trees. Facing the garden is the porch of the house. The roof is represented underneath as constructed of logs resting upon crossbeams supported by lotus and papyrus columns. At the back of the porch and behind on the outside of the model are shown a great state doorway with fanlight above, a side foor, and a tall, latticed window.
