Corinthian capital, Restitution Lubusz Region. Roman architecture; acanthus leaves ornament. 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; architectural detail; element of architectural decoration; capital. Height 24 cm; width 34 cm; depth 33 cm; weight 42.5 kg., A roughly rectangular carved stone fragment sits against a gray background, showing weathered and chipped surfaces with a pale off-white to light gray color and small traces of darker gray and brown discoloration. The top surface is irregular and worn, and the sides display carved, rounded and volute-like forms with triangular leaf shapes and rounded lobes, all sharing the same pale stone color with subtle shadowed recesses. The fragment’s edges are broken and uneven, and the piece casts soft gray shadows on the background.
