Aedicula Prop Progress

An aedicula, by definition, is a small shrine, and in classical architecture refers to a niche covered by a pediment supported by a pair of columns. From a prop building perspective, an aedicula is actually an easy approach to making interesting looking headstones using wood and carpentry skills (not a fan of using insulating foam boards for props). The aedicula is making great progress so far. It's roughly 2 feet wide and a little over 4 feet tall. A base still needs to be built and then all the final detailing trim will be added before it's painted with Behr Textured DeckOver and antiqued. The pediment top came from Ekena Millwork and is intended to be used as a top trim for a window, but works perfectly for an aedicula prop!
