A tall, cylindrical terracotta column culminates in a flattened cap and displays repeated textured marks across its body that resemble scales or feathering.

Midway around the form small relief elements — including a stylized fish or wrapped figure — create a subtle, looping composition that wraps the form like a frieze. The piece reads as a narrative pole in miniature, its tactile markings and modest bas-relief details inviting the viewer to trace stories around its surface; the warm clay and hand-worked marks convey an intimate, artisanal quality that emphasizes touch and memory over finish.
