About the Item

An impressive ancient architectural fragment made of stone, richly carved with mythological and ornamental figures. The piece retains a strong sculptural feel, with reliefs displaying highly expressive details, despite the passage of time and natural surface erosion. Its robust rectangular shape, with beveled edges and lateral reliefs, suggests it may have been part of a capital, a base, or a decorative structural element in a historic building. The carving reflects the masterful craftsmanship of its time, evoking symbolic and narrative motifs that add cultural and aesthetic value. Beyond its original function, this fragment today constitutes a stand-alone work, ideal for collectors, historians, or decor lovers seeking pieces with character and authenticity. It can be presented as a pedestal sculpture, a unique side table, or a centerpiece in an indoor or outdoor space. A relic that combines history, art, and architecture in a single object, conveying the nobility of stone and the legacy of time.
