Fragments of a Palm Column, Old Kingdom, Dynasty 5, ca. 2353–2323 B.C., From Egypt; Possibly from Memphite Region, Saqqara, Granite, Diameter beneath the ropes of the neck 80.85 cm (31 13/16 in.); width of the abacus 84 cm (33 1/16 in.). The total height of the modern reconstruction (2.12 m (83 7/16 in.)) seems to be much too high., Two fragments from a column with a palm-leaf capital. The upper fragment includes much of the capital, with ribbed palm leaves supporting a square abacus. The lower section preserves a portion of the shaft, on which is carved a loop representing part of a rope that lay beneath a series of rope rings
