- "The bas relief (signed and dated) over the entrance doors is in beaten copper and was designed and executed by the Australian sculptor Tom Bass. It is 70 feet long and 6 feet hight (200 cm x 2100 cm x 178 cm). In its free flowing lines it is a contrast to the severly disciplined columns. The words 'ark', 'sun' and 'tree' in cuneiform (reading from left to right as viewed) form the basis of the design."--Reproduced in: The National Library of Australia / [National Capital Development Commission]. Melbourne, Vic. : A.E. Keating, 1968, p. 10.
