White marble stele
White marble stele
Ottoman Turkey, 18th century
Rectangular slab with arched finial, the front sculpted in bas-relief with vine plant in symmetrical arrangement around the central axis. The grapes contribute to the symmetry otherwise altered by the undulating course of the branch. The use of white marble in the area dates back to ancient times, however marble stelae and tombstones have been common in Turkey since the Seljuk of Rum.
