Légende

Cast of one side of an ionic column capital, 19th century. The Ionic order is one of the three canonic orders of classical architecture. The Ionic capital (top of column) is characterized by the use of volutes. Ionic columns normally stand on a base which separates the shaft of the column from the stylobate or platform while the cap is usually enriched with egg-and-dart.
