Corinthian capital

It varies somewhat from the ordinary style as it contains only one row of leaves. It is roughly hewn in a rare black Egyptian granite, and had probably been brought so from the quarry, to be finished by the skilful hand of the artist. It came from Porto where have been found many other unfinished statues and blocks of marble brought from the quarry and deposited there on their arrival.

Inv. nr. 13a. Granite. 0.35 x 0.54 x 0.55.
