Stylized acanthus leaves fan out from all sides of the capital. The tips of the leaves touch at the corners. The abacus above them is made up of two fasciae. The top of the capital is roughly hewn, with a square dowel hole in its center. A channel leads away from the hole. The round base was roughly smoothed on the underside. The capital belonged to a stele or a piece of small architecture.
Two corners and edges of the abacus as well as the base slightly worn.
