Description
"
Capital
based
on the
Corinthian
order
with
winged
horses
(Pegasuses)
from a
pilaster
in
Lunense
marble
, from the
first
order
of the
decoration
of the
interior
of the
cella
of the
temple
of
Mars
Ultor
. The
lower
part
of the
kalathos
is
covered
with
acanthus
leaves
, their
tips
folded
and
projecting
,
while
in the
upper
half
the
winged
horses
with
archaic-looking
manes
have
wings
transformed
into
acanthus
leaves
with the
tips
folded
in a
spiral
. The
horses
support
the
corners
of the
abacus
instead
of the
normal
volutes
and
emerge
from a
vine
shoot
covered
with
spiraling
acanthus
leaves
terminating
in a
rosette
. The
heads
are
highly
naturalistic
, in
contrast
with the
manes.
