    "description": "This pillar fragment is carved with various stylized motifs, including star swirls that can be found throughout Western Europe, especially in Italy, at this time. It is identical to a pillar fragment from southern Italy. As it is decorated on all four sides, it was intended to be free-standing, perhaps as part of a portal.",
