We present the results of the analysis of the X-ray spectrum of the Seyfert 2Mrk 348, observed by Suzaku and XMM-Newton. The overall spectrum of Mrk 348 canbe described by a primary power law continuum seen through three layers ofabsorption, of which one is neutral and two are ionised. Comparing Suzaku(2008) and XMM-Newton (2002) observations we find variability of the X-rayspectral curvature. We suggest that the variability can be explained throughthe change of column density of both the neutral and one of the ionisedabsorbers, together with a variation of the ionisation level of the sameabsorber. We thus confirm one of the main features presented in past works,where intrinsic column density variability up to $\sim 10^{23}$~cm$^{-2}$ wasobserved on time scales of months. We also find that the photon index of theunderlying power law continuum ($\Gamma \sim 1.8$) is in agreement with theprevious observations of this Seyfert 2.
