Measuring \u003cstrong\u003e219.5 x 50.5 x H100 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e, it stands out for its elongated proportions, the series of perforations of different sizes, and its side supports with curved profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday it should be understood primarily as a \u003cstrong\u003edecorative relic and collector's item\u003c\/strong\u003e, retaining the constructive features that explain its former function.

The length of the piece also allowed several of them to be arranged simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is important not to go beyond what we can demonstrate. Based on its typology, we identify it as a \u003cstrong\u003estandard holder\u003c\/strong\u003e, but we do not have documentation that allows us to state which standards it held, where it was installed, who manufactured it, or to which institution it belonged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe structure is accompanied by sober yet clearly visible decoration.
