Set of six pillars. Carved wood, stone base. India, 19th century. Row of six carved wooden pillars with capitals at the top and carved stone bases at the bottom (grouped in pairs). The shafts have three different sections (square, polygonal and spiral) and relief decoration along them, consisting of plant elements, lines, simple architectural motifs, smooth areas, geometric shapes, etc. The capitals have a certain reminiscence of Western classical forms in their composition and decorative elements. This type of architectural element was, for example, very often used in the “havelis” (urban residences or traditional mansions) in India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh, with the usual differences depending on the geographical area, the date and the owner’s taste, but also in other notable buildings.
