Capital

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a stone capital with a square top and a round base. The capital is made of light-colored stone and features a decorative design. The capital has a flat top with a slightly rough texture. Below the top, there is a carved band. The main body of the capital is adorned with a carved design featuring two volutes, one on either side, that curve outward and downward. The volutes are decorated with spiral patterns. Between the volutes, there are carved lines and shapes, including a central palmette motif. The base of the capital is not visible as it sits on a white surface. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The title of the piece is "Capital" by an unknown artist.
