Unknown origin

Capital

12th century

Capital in limestone. Voluminous leaves, with strong limbs, carry a groin in relief, curled up towards the outside, and arranged in double rings, occupying the whole surface of this capital. A flat leaf unfurls into a corner volute. A console, with the same proportions as the leaves, surmounts the plant decoration.
