A fragmentary temple model from Sparta, in which the roof and one pediment are preserved, provides new evidence for reconstructing the system of Lakonian roofing. The ridge and Lakonian tiles as well as disc akroteria are modelled in high relief; a painted gorgoneion decorates the surviving pediment. The possibility is discussed that it represents a very small type of temple that may have existed at Sparta. A date in the first half of the 6th cent. BC is suggested
