The front face of this capital features a pair of winged angels, the left one holds up two fingers of his right hand in blessing, while the right one holds a crosier in his right hand. The other faces are decorated with figure-of-eight scrolls filled with large Byzantine blossoms. The back face also has a beaded figure-of-eight scroll, and a small central mask. The scrolls contain a pair of lions running away from one another. Their heads are turned back to bite at stems of loose foliage.
