trial_description_8:
Apparently the bottom drum of an unfluted Ionic column with base molding. The latter has been chipped away for later reuse.
Surface of drum worked with toothed chisel. On the bottom a fine-picked band and a rough-picked center. A dowel was once intended in one position, and executed in another. Later cuttings for reuse on same surface.
Hymettian marble.
