What is the "shaft"?
The shaft is the main vertical section of a column, typically found between the base and the capital. It is usually cylindrical and serves as the primary support for the column, helping to carry the weight of the structure above it. The shaft can vary in height, thickness, and design, depending on the architectural style. In many cases, the surface of the shaft may be plain or decorated with patterns or grooves to enhance its visual appeal. The shaft is essential in maintaining the stability and strength of the column in a building.
