| Notes | The kalathos surface of the composite column capital from the 5th century is decorated with two rows of acanthus motifs on top of each other. The long ends of the motifs with closed leaves are bent outwards and there are spaces between these motifs. The acanthus motifs in the upper row are placed between the lower rows and in a position to support the volutes with their leaves. The surface of the echinus is decorated with stylized leaf motifs positioned side by side between the volutes, and the abacus above it is decorated with laurel leaves. The laurel leaf motif is also seen on the bracelet below the surface of the kalathos. --- The kalathos surface of this 5th-century composite column capital is decorated with two rows of acanthus motifs.
