Indian Stone Pilaster

Teal paint, worn down to brown. It has had a long life.

Indian stonecutters made this pilaster in stone in the 19th century. Pilasters like this commonly flanked doorways and arches in traditional architecture. A square shaft rises from a lower base marked by ridged moldings, narrowing slightly toward a flat capital. A bright turquoise-green coat covers the stone, and it has flaked away in large patches to show warm brown beneath. The edges are softened by wear, and there are scattered chips. It has the look of a thing that has been repainted and weathered again.

About 58 inches tall, 12 inches wide. Color you would have to buy and then distress.
