Broken Stone Column Segment

A jagged fragment broken from a structural column, its once-smooth masonry edges reduced to rough, splintered stone. Cold and heavy in the trooper’s grip, this block serves as an improvised battering ram when Willow orders the emergency breach of the police box. Dust clings to its fractured surfaces as the trooper wrenches it free—the shattered remains of what once bore the crypt’s weight now repurposed for sudden, destructive momentum against the TARDIS door.
