The 'bright columns' in the lower half of the picture are a support stand, or 'test adaptor'; it is not part of the Lander but its purpose is to let the Lander stand in the right position in the test facility.
Scale: when the landing gear is stowed the Lander forms a cube of (roughly) 1m x 1m x 1m.
