A tan-gray marble sculpture of a weathered column top rests on a white pedestal. From its tapered base, large pointed leaves with vertical grooves rise toward two spiraling stone scrolls at the corners. A tiered central section recedes beneath a square upper surface. The stone has a rough, pitted texture with many chips along the edges, set against a dark, neutral background.
