With fluted shaft and even necking, the capital formed out of an echinus and rounded abacus, a square recess on the top for the separately made basin
Note
The labrum is a basin used as a water vessel for cold water in the caldarium or hot room of a Roman bath complex. This type of furnishing elements were also widely used in the decoration of atriums and gardens. These kind of columns can be interepreted as a basin support (A. Ambrogi, Labra of the Roman age in white and colored marbles, Rome 2005, pp. 95-112) or, more rarely, of a low table.
