Cypro-Classical capital

This capital originally came from a column, perhaps part of a funeral or votive stele. The narrow circular base is decorated with mouldings. The stele splays outwards as it rises: two rows of superimposed acanthus leaves, the outer row has rounded tips, the inner row with angular tips. The stele is topped with another set of mouldings, repeating the round and flat patter as on the base, and socket in the lower end presumably for attachment to a pillar. Traces of red and black paint were revealed during cleaning.该柱头（capital）原本取自一根立柱，大概率属于某块丧葬或还愿石碑的组成部分。其狭窄的圆形基座饰有线脚（mouldings）。该碑状构件随高度升高向外渐展，带有两层叠压的茛苕叶（acanthus leaves）饰带：外层茛苕叶顶端呈圆润弧形，内层则为棱角分明的样式。构件顶部另有一组线脚装饰，与基座的圆形扁平纹样一致；其下端设有榫孔，推测用于与立柱接驳。清理过程中显现出红、黑两色颜料的残留痕迹。
