Indonesian Stone Pedestal / Base

Built like a small temple, and ready to hold up something important.

This pedestal, or base, is from Bali, Indonesia, and is contemporary, made of lava stone. Balinese stone carving has a long tradition, and volcanic stone is a favored material for temple architecture, shrines and garden sculpture on the island. The pedestal is assembled from squared blocks, with a stepped plinth below and a projecting molded cornice above. The central body is divided into two plain panels, and the gray stone carries faint tool marks and darker patches across its surface. It is 30 inches wide, 24 deep and 24.5 high.

Anything placed on it will feel promoted.
