Indonesian Stone Lavastone Base

Rough, grey and rectangular, with the patience of rock.

This lavastone base comes from Bali, Indonesia; the record gives no date. Stone bases like this are commonly used to raise a sculpture or object. It is built in stepped tiers, with a wide lower plinth and a narrower block above topped by a flat slab. The stone is pale grey with veining and scattered pale and dark patches, and the edges are cleanly squared.

About 24 inches tall and 30 inches wide. Put something proud on top, or leave it, because it is already a column of calm.
