Column Capital

MS 5. Yüzyıl

Sabancı Üniversitesi Sakıp Sabancı Müzesi (Emirgan, İstanbul, Türkiye)

The kalathos surface of this 5th-century composite column capital is decorated with two rows of acanthus motifs. There are spaces between the motifs with closed leaves, and their long tips are twisted outwards. The acanthuses in the upper row are placed in a staggered fashion between those in the lower row and support the volutes with their leaves. The twists in these motifs touch the short segments of the other leaves. Stylized and asymmetrical volutes are decorated with laurel leaf motifs. There is no decoration on the annulet/bracelet section below the kalathos.
