Description from the seller

While the 13th century is primarily known for the rise of Gothic architecture, Romanesque (or "Romanic") style persisted in many regions, often blending with newer techniques to create "Transitional" or "Late Romanesque" pieces.
A Romanesque capital is defined by its sturdiness, symbolic carvings, and block-like form, standing in contrast to the airy, vertical focus of true Gothic design
