Of alabaster, flaring out at top and base with longitudinal groove carved across the top and base. Such columns remain enigmatic objects: their specific archaeological contexts would suggest that they were prized and important sculptures, probably related to the religious and cult sphere. Their extremely discrete and sober form gives them a highly contemporary, abstract connotation. Size: 9.6 cm H - 3 3/4 inches Material: Alabaster Culture: Bactrian, c. 2000 B.C.
