Baluster

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two stone balusters, likely made of weathered gray stone, stand upright. Each baluster has a square base and top. The top section is a square block with a small spherical protrusion at its center. The middle section of each baluster features intricate carvings. The left baluster has a shell-like design at its center, flanked by curved leaves or feathers. The right baluster has a rounded center with a circle flanked by curved lines resembling a shell. Both balusters have ornate carvings on their lower sections. The balusters are set against a plain light-gray background. The image title is "Baluster".
