Légende

Cast of corner entablature of grave aedicula with a dragon motif, late 18th century-early 19th century. The elegant ornamental detail, both of the leafy palmette in the cornice and vertical acanthus leaves on the capital are similar to numerous buildings of the Flavian period (late first century AD/CE). The original, part of a small shrine, is in the Vatican Museums in Rome.
