What is a "pedestal"?

A pedestal is a base or support that raises a column or statue above the ground. It is typically wider and sturdier than the column or statue it holds, providing stability and balance. Pedestals can be simple or decorated with designs, and they are often made from materials like stone, marble, or concrete. In architecture, pedestals are used to enhance the visual impact of columns or sculptures, drawing attention to the piece above while ensuring it remains secure. They are commonly found in buildings, gardens, and public spaces.

03
