Corinthian capital, inv. no 887

Dimensions: height 35 cm, diameter 37 - 49 cm
Dated to: 1st to 2nd centuries AD
Site: Seča, eastern side of the Seča peninsula, among the walls of a demolished small-sized church. Precise data on the finding is not known.

The capital is decorated with rather well-preserved acanthus leaves that form a repetitive decorative motif. The acanthus is a Mediterranean plant with spiky leaves which lends its name to the decoration. Two rows of acanthus leaves have been preserved on the capital. A pair of cups, decorated in a knitting rib pattern, can be seen on both sides of the acanthus leaves in the bottom row. Both cups show two protruding leaves, each of which embraces the smallest one in the second row. One part of the capital is left unworked with an additional groove allowing the capital to join with the neighbouring stone element. The upper surface of the capital next to the border is partially damaged.
