Hollow Tile: Column from Tomb-Chamber Doorway

Cleveland Museum of Art

Hollow Tile: Column from Tomb-Chamber Doorway by an unknown artist. The image shows a tall, narrow, rectangular column. The column is made of stone or clay and has a light brown color. The top section features a pattern of teardrop shapes with the pointed end facing down. Below this section, there is a long vertical rectangle with intricate carvings. The main body of the column has diagonal lines carved into it, forming a chevron pattern that radiates from the central vertical rectangle. The bottom section of the column features a pattern of diamonds with smaller squares inside them. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
