Pillars, Tomb of Ankhtifi, Mo'alla, Egypt

The thirty pillars have been retained in a rock mass of very poor quality in function of the natural constraints, including the presence of faults. This explains the asymmetrical layout of these pillars and their irregular and varied shapes. Most were cut with faces of unequal width, forcing the decorator to work on narrow and high surfaces.
