Gothic capital; Spain, 14th century. Carved limestone. Wear and tear due to use and the passage of time. Measurements: 28 x 29 x 29 cm. Gothic capital of Corinthian order in carved stone of square shape with wavy sides at the top and with a circular base, decorated in relief with acanthus leaves. The Gothic capital gradually lost its importance as the period of the style progressed. After the transitional period in which the Romanesque capital is followed, it takes the form of a somewhat conical drum embraced by foliage whose motifs are taken from the flora of the country and crowned by a circular or polygonal abacus with various mouldings. Subsequently, the capital becomes smaller and more delicate, and finally, it is eliminated when in the 15th century the bundle of reeds branches out directly into the ribs of the vault without any solution of continuity in many cases, or remains in the form of a simple ring.
