Descripción
Columns shaped as people show how architecture is scaled to human proportions. Female forms, known as caryatids, were first used at Delphi about 525 B.C., but the best known examples, from around 410 B.C., survive on the Erectheion in Athens. This is a cast of a caryatid from the villa of Herodes, outside Rome.
This is a plaster cast from 1850-1900, but the original is from about 161-171 A.D.
