Common materials used in its construction are wood, stone, and less frequently metal and ceramic. A group of balusters supporting a handrail, coping, or ornamental detail is known as a balustrade. [1] [2] The term baluster shaft is used to describe forms such as a candlestick, upright furniture support, and the stem of a brass chandelier.
