Column; India, first third of the twentieth century. Carved marble. It shows wear and restorations. Measurements: 55,5 x 18 x 18 cm. Column made of carved marble with a square base from which the fluted shaft starts. The decorative patterns of Indian art are obtained, as can be seen in the tympanum, repeating simple elements intertwined or superimposed. The taste for symmetry stands out, thus achieving a dynamic and harmonious effect where the detail does not prevail over the whole. The infinite reiteration of ornaments in the Indian world is part of a representative metaphor close to the concept of eternity and the mutability of the universe. Indian art, unlike Western art, does not imitate nature. For this reason, a stylized representation of ornaments and plant motifs is very common. It presents wear and restorations.
