Art Deco Residence Foyer
Indy's House Parlor (living room adjoining foyer)
In Indy's Art Deco residence, the foyer opens onto an expansive parlor/living room anchored by a roaring fireplace. During Marcus Brody's midnight visit, he is halted by a silk-gowned woman lounging on a plush sofa with a champagne glass, the firelight casting warm, elegant light across ornate surfaces. The intimate, sophisticated domestic space provides a calm counterpoint to the urgent Ark discussion and reveals glimpses of Indy's private world.

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK
The Silk-Gowned Stranger in Indy's Parlor
The Art Deco foyer is the stage where Indy deliberately creates separation and Brody's discovery occurs; its shiny marble and formal opulence highlight social class and private worldliness that contrast with the urgent public business Brody brings.
Atmosphere
Elegantly warm and slightly dissonant — sophisticated calm layered over impending urgency.
Functional Role
Threshold and staging area that allows a visible, dramatic reveal before the private study conversation.
Symbolic Significance
Suggests Indy's ability to inhabit both scholarly/adventurous life and a polished social milieu; a visual sign of compartmentalized identity.
