Corinthian capital, Corinthian capital composed of a calathos and thick stems that bifurcate and terminate in volutes supporting the abacus. The crown of leaves, formed by two rows of eight full leaves, occupies half the height of the capital. The leaves are rounded and angled outward. Thick caules with lacings in the form of thick rings grow from the upper row. The volute stems are in the form of flat ribbons. The outer volutes are significantly larger than the inner ones, meeting directly under the projection of the abacus rosette. The abacus is profiled, two-part with extended corners. Two corners, including the volutes, are upholstered. The edges of the leaves are chipped. 4th–5th century late antique period, Roman Empire; architectural element / capital; height 24 cm, width 34 cm, depth 33 cm, weight 42.5 kg., A stone carving fragment with a weathered surface in shades of white, gray, and beige, showing carved volute-like spiral forms and rounded protrusions; the top appears flat and rough with mottled gray and beige discoloration, and the sides display sculpted scrolls and leaf-like shapes with smooth and chipped edges; overall the object sits against a plain dark gray background with subtle shadowing beneath it.
