A plinth is traditionally the name of a structure used in architecture, it is the base or platform on which a column, statue or monument is situated.

For fine art, plinth is commonly a piece of display equipment, a display stand used for exhibition of sculpture.

Commonly plinths used at art galleries are simply a wooden box that stands about waist height and painted white.

A carpenter can manufacture a timber plinth to your specifications and some Easel Manufacturers will also manufacturer plinths and other exhibition stands for sale. Plinths and other display stands can also be hired from companies that specialize in Exhibition Services or Display Equipment.
