		A study of related epigraphic and literary evidence reinforces the possibility that the Parthenon had chryselephantine doors.
		These transactions have been associated with work on the base of the chryselephantine statue of Athena Parthenos, which was embellished with a representation of the birth of Pandora, possibly in gilded metal (Dinsmoor, 1913; Burford 1960; Hurwit, 1999).
		The sale of gold and ivory near the completion of the Parthenon may be an indicator that this building as well had chryselephantine doors, creating a worthy complement the splendid image of the Athena Parthenos.

	Phidias Summary
		Phidias was unusually versatile, being renowned as a sculptor not only in bronze but also in marble and in the difficult technique of fashioning and assembling gold, ivory, and wooden components into chryselephantine statues.
		The first of these, the Athena Areia dedicated in the sanctuary of Athena at Plataea, is said to have been over life-size and of a composite technique in which the drapery was gold-covered while the flesh parts (head, arms) were carved in marble.
		This technique, an elaboration of that known as "akrolithic," in which the extremities are carved in stone and attached to a wooden core, is closely akin to the chryselephantine technique.
