Pillaster

Description

This object is a weathered stone pillar or an architectural fragment that has been intricately carved. The upper portion contains a deeply recessed niche, which likely once accommodated a statue or another ornamental feature. This niche is bordered by elaborate carvings, potentially illustrating floral or faunal designs. In contrast, the lower part of the pillar exhibits vertical fluting along with further carvings, which may represent stylized acanthus leaves or other botanical forms.
