A caryatid is a type of architectural support that takes the shape of a female figure. Instead of using traditional columns, buildings may feature these sculpted women standing upright, often with their arms resting on their heads or at their sides. Caryatids are commonly found in classical architecture, particularly in ancient Greek structures. They serve both a decorative and functional purpose, holding up elements such as beams or roofs while also adding an artistic touch to the design.
