English: Bronze Doors to the Grand Temple (exterior), Freemasons' Hall, London. 1933. Each door was cast in one piece 12ft. by 4 ft. weighing 1.25 tons. Elements of the design:- Top two panels: left: the Ark brought to the Temple; right: likewise the seven-branched candlesticks. Left downwards: the vessels of gold and silver come from beyond the desert; the stone conveyed by oxen to Jerusalem; the stones hewn in the quarry and worked and numbered by the Giblites. Right downwards: the weaving sheds beyond the great rivers; the timber felled in the forest of Lebanon and conveyed by float from Tyre to Joppa; the metals fused and cast in the plains of Zeradath. Conceived and designed by Walter Gilbert (a Freemason), modelled by Donald Gilbert and bronze casting by H. H.
