Roughed-out object in the quarries at Altıntaş, near Iscehisar.
This column shaft or block has been partially quarried. It has had channels cut around three sides but was never freed from the rock-face along its base. The stone quarried at Altıntaş was similar to that quarried at the larger quarries at nearby Iscehisar - a white and purple breccia (pavonazzetto). The quarry here was cut as a long channel into the hillside.
