| A sculpture stands in the Basilica Cistern, Istanbul, Turkey, characterized by a tall, slender shape with a textured surface and a serpent-like element encircling its base. The setting includes ancient, large stone columns and a vaulted brick ceiling that are typical of Byzantine architecture. The floor is illuminated, creating a dramatic contrast with the shadows. The cistern's historical significance lies in its role as a water reservoir for the city, constructed during the Byzantine Empire in the 6th century. |
