Ancient column

This project allows you to build a miniature ruin of an ancient column.

 

It's a nice idea  to accompany any study of antiquity by illustrating it with a typical architectural representation.

 

It's quite simple to make and pretty impressive. It can be used as very nice pen holder.

 

This project was developped for the magazine 'Campus Junior' of the University of Geneva.
