Carved from dense, resilient tropical hardwood—likely centuries-old teak or ironwood—each pillar has spent decades exposed to the elements, eroding the softer grain to reveal a deeply fissured, organic "wabi-sabi" texture.

The pillars feature hand-carved, multi-tiered profiles that mirror the sacred geometry of traditional Buddhist temple spires and reliquaries.

The Center Post: This piece terminates in a remarkably defined, pointed finial resembling a stylized multi-tiered umbrella (chhatra).

The Right Pillar: The shortest of the three retains its distinct, clean carving of a stylized lotus bud motif, a universal Buddhist symbol of purity and enlightenment.

Modern Bases: Each column is securely mounted onto a minimalist, square black iron display base, bridging ancient rustic artistry with clean, modern interior presentation.
