Add an exceptional piece of art to your space with this magnificent Decorative Caryatid.
A caryatid is an anthropomorphic sculpture or column, meaning it represents a human figure, used as an architectural support. It typically takes the form of a woman draped in garments, serving as a pillar or support to hold up a part of a building.
Caryatids derive their name from the Caryatids, young women from the city of Caria in ancient Greece, who are said to have been captured and used as slaves by the Persians. This mythological inspiration was adopted by Greek and Roman architects, who created sculpted columns in the likeness of women to adorn temples and buildings.
Caryatids were used in classical architecture and continued to be employed in other architectural styles throughout history.
They serve to support a part of the building, such as an entablature, a balcony, or a cornice, replacing a traditional column. Their function is both structural and decorative.
There are different types of caryatids, including:
- Structural Caryatids: These are three-dimensional sculptures that serve as load-bearing pillars, directly supporting a part of the building. They are often integrated into the architecture and carefully sculpted to resemble women draped in garments.
- Decorative Caryatids: These caryatids are primarily used for decorative and ornamental purposes. They can be placed as projections on a building, as standalone sculptural elements, or in bas-relief on a flat surface.
- Removable Caryatids: These are autonomous sculptures that can be detached or moved as needed. They were often used in ancient Greek temples, allowing for the replacement or modification of caryatids as necessary.
