The Colonnade Fragment
A fluted section of a stone column from a ruined colonnade beyond a surveyed aperture.
- Description
- A fluted section of a stone column, some 1.1 m in height, from the ruined colonnade of the site reached through the B-13 aperture. The stone resembles a fine limestone but matches no quarry on record.
- Provenance
- Recovered and conveyed by the partner institution that maintains the aperture; held on loan. The colonnade still stands; the fragment was already fallen.
- Condition
- Stable, faintly warm. A single face is heavily wind-scoured, weathered far longer than the rest by the sun under which it stood. Under even lighting it casts a shadow offset by a constant eleven degrees.
- Notes
- May be displayed. It is not to be carried back through any aperture.
