Artist, American, 1879-1964

The sculpture depicts a tall block-like structure with a smooth top transitioning into a roughly textured bottom. The subject appears to be a decorative pillar or column segment with intricate carvings on the upper portion, including swirling patterns and foliage motifs. The sculpture is a natural stone hue, varying from beige to light brown, possibly made of sandstone or limestone. The base is rugged compared to the detailed carvings on top, giving it a dual-textured appearance. Overall, the sculpture stands as a prominent stone relic with ornate carvings on the top half and a rough-hewn appearance beneath.
