Egyptian columns often have a lotus motif on the capital. Originally used during Ancient Egyptian times, this style re-appeared during the Egyptian Revival style seen during the late 18th and 19th centuries as well as in the Art Deco style in the early to mid 20th century. They became particularly fashionable, along with all things Egyptian, in the years following Howard Carter's discovery of King Tutankhamen's tomb in 1922.
