Two water leaves are joined to a twisted taper
to form a corn-like motif. A diagonal line
through the two leaves will be vertical once the
railing is installed on the stairs.
The piece is placed in the railing, now upright on
the table to better accommodate the leaves. It can
be seen that the center of the corn cob is parallel
with the top and bottom rails while the leaves
hold the same angle as other vertical pieces
