Bronze pillars

These two bronze pillars each measured between thirty-four and thirty-five feet and had a diameter of six feet at the base. The foundry cast the hollow pillars with a uniform wall thiekness of about three inches. A sort of chain ornamentation eovered the lower part of the eapitals, with representations of pomegranates in two rows of two hundred. At the very top was a lily-work motive, an imitation of the Egyptian lotus blossom.
