| Notes | The cut kalathos surface of the 19th century marble composite column capital is decorated with two rows of acanthus motifs. Of the five-segmented and three-needle motifs, the ones with the longest ends are in the middle section. These motifs touch the leaves on the sides with their outwardly bent ends. There is a cross motif between the straight abacus and the echinus, and three-pointed leaves bending towards the abacus on the volutes. --- This marble capital from the 19th century is a composite structure, a hybrid of the Ionic and Corinthian orders. The cut kalathos surface of the capital is decorated with two rows of acanthus motifs. The longest-tipped of the leaves, with five slices and three points, are in the middle section. The curved ends of these motifs touch the leaves on the sides. Between the flat abacus and the echinus there is a cross motif, and on the volutes there are three-pointed leaves bent towards the abacus. |
