A stair riser is the vertical element in a set of stairs, forming the space between a step and the next.
Decorated stair risers were used extensively in the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara, to form the piedestal to small devotional stupas. They were usually adorned with friezes, fantastic animals and decorations.
