Description
This capital originally came from a column, perhaps part of a funeral or votive stele. The narrow circular base is decorated with mouldings. The stele splays outwards as it rises: two rows of superimposed acanthus leaves, the outer row has rounded tips, the inner row with angular tips. The stele is topped with another set of mouldings, repeating the round and flat patter as on the base, and socket in the lower end presumably for attachment to a pillar. Traces of red and black paint were revealed during cleaning.
