Title: Pilaster capital with a lion-griffin Date: A.D. 14–50 Origin: Carrara, Italy Medium: marble Description: "The flat relief is broken on the left side, but finished on the top, right, and on the bottom. Below the upper moldings, a horned winged lion, forelegs bent back, lies to the right. His tail appears to blend into a palmette, part of which remains behind him. In the frieze below the moldings at his feet are a honeysuckle and a palmette in anthemion design. The carving would appear to have been part of a large pilaster, although iconography and style connect it with the workshops which produced candelabra in early imperial Rome."
