Describes the architectural time period/historical style of a node tagged with man_made=column

Values

The value of this tag follows the Any tags you like scheme, but first identify common values on taginfo before creating a new one

Values should follow the standard OSM syntax (e.g. =ancient_greek), and can also take inspiration from the building:architecture=* values

Values should not describe the sculptural style (e.g. =ionic) of the column. The column:style=* key should be used instead

Example Values

=ancient_egyptian Rectangular blocks/complex designs carved into the shaft/trunk, with a patterned capital which is sometimes coloured

In Combination with column:style=*

This table shows examples of =* and column:style=* pairings, as well as which =* value is the default for each column:style=* value when no =* is provided

A brief description (from someone that knows very little about columns & historical architecture) as well as an example image is provided for some cases
