19th century Plaster capital

This beautiful plaster capital displays a clearly classical style. Its inverted conical form is decorated with stylized acanthus leaves and palmettes, typical motifs of Greco-Roman architecture. The reliefs at the base suggest stylized stems or palm leaves, emphasizing the vertical movement of the piece. Probably made for decorative or educational use based on 2nd–3rd century models, it reflects a lasting admiration for classical beauty.
