Indonesian Stone Pedestal / Base

Grey stone, stepped and squared, with the look of something found at a temple gate.

This pedestal or base is from Bali, Indonesia, and is contemporary, made of lava stone. Volcanic stone is the classic building material of Balinese architecture, cut and stacked for shrines and plinths across the island. A thick slab top overhangs a stepped cornice. The main body is assembled from paired upright panels, and the base steps out in two tiers. The surface is a dark, cloudy grey, flecked lighter in places and pitted throughout. It is 17 inches long, 22.5 deep and 30 high.

It will hold a sculpture. It may also hold the floor down.
