The Metropolitan Museum of Art Sardis Column Bookends | Decorative Accents

An Eye-Catching Pair For Home Or Office, Our Bookends Celebrate The Magnificent Sardis Column In The Met. The Capital, Base, And Portions Of The Shaft Of This Great Ionic Column Come From A Monumental Temple Constructed At Sardis (In Today’S Turkey) And Dedicated To Artemis, The Greek Goddess Of The Hunt And The Moon.

Shortened From Its Original Height Of 56 Feet, The Met’S Massive Column On Display In The Greek And Roman Galleries Lets Viewers Admire The Fine Carving Of The Foliate Ornaments On The Capital And The Fish-Scale Pattern On The Molding At Its Base. These Same Decorative Details Appear On Our Handsome Bookends.
