AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of wonderful medieval-period capitals (15th century) that were part of a bifora or trifora as the crowning elements of columns.
Of equal dimensions: upper base square 11x11 cm, lower base circular with a diameter of 9 cm, height 12 cm.
One capital has sculpted as an ornamental motif two flowers on the sides and a leaf in the center, and occupied the central position of the bifora.
The other has a stylized leaf in an angular position, thus it was part of the lateral half-column.
In good condition, considering their age. Some chips as visible in the photos, consistent with the dating of the objects.
The last photo represents only an example of a bifora capital.
