Sculpted stone capital. Italy, 16th-17th century.
30 x 25 x h 25 cm.
Entirely in sculpted stone, some breaks and missing parts.
The lawful provenance of the object has been verified and confirmed by the Carabinieri Command for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Udine (attached document).
A sculpted stone capital, carved in the round, with an inverted truncated cone shape. The surface is adorned at the corners with rolled volutes and, along the sides, with relief decorative elements which are now only partially legible due to prolonged exposure to atmospheric agents. At the top, there is a hole, made at a later date, probably intended to house the pole of a cross or a banner. The work, attributable to Italian architectural production between the 16th and 17th century, retains an evident plastic quality despite the abrasions and small missing parts due to time. Originally conceived as an architectural support element, it is today suitable for evocative reuse as a base, pedestal, or furnishing element with a strong antique character.
