Half of a twin capital with a rosette motif

The presented capital is one of seven halves of twin capitals uncovered during the years 1947–1953 by archaeologists during research in the course of reconstructing eastern wing of the monastery. The capital is considered to be one of the best examples of Romanesque masonry in Poland. It comes from the first monastic complex in Tyniec. However, researchers do not agree whether the twin capitals were originally located in the church or in the cloisters. The capital has the shape of a truncated pyramid turned upside down with a rectangular abacus, damaged in the corners, in the upper part. The head's surface is covered by floral ornamentation with palmettes, accompanied by an intertwined scroll forming heart-like shapes. On the reverse, there appears the shape of an eight-pointed star formed by the combination of two squares. The centre of the star is filled with a rosette. 4th quarter of the 11th century, Tyniec Museum of the Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec Inventory number: DA/165/2012 Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab

本次展出的柱头为双联柱头的七个残件之一，由考古学家于1947至1953年间，在修道院东翼复原工程的考古研究中发掘出土。该柱头被视作波兰罗马式砖石建筑工艺的杰出范例之一，出自蒂涅克（Tyniec）的首座修道院建筑群。但学界对于这组双联柱头最初的安置位置——是教堂还是修道院回廊——仍存在争议。该柱头整体呈倒置的截头金字塔造型，上部设有矩形顶盘（abacus），边角存在破损。柱头表面装饰有棕叶饰（palmette）纹样，搭配缠绕卷曲形成心形轮廓的卷草纹饰。柱头背面可见由两个正方形叠加构成的八角星造型，该星型的中心饰有玫瑰形纹章（rosette）。该柱头制作于11世纪第四季度，馆藏于蒂涅克本笃会修道院博物馆（Tyniec Museum of the Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec）。藏品编号：DA/165/2012。数据来源：Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
