The upper row of leaves of acanthus have between each leaf an eight-petalled flower or rosace, which, according 1:o Mr. Choisy, was copied from the head of the pin which fastened the metal leaves to the bell or core of the capital. There is no annulet between the cap and shaft, but a sinking which suggests it having ...been in metal, and the flutings of the column terminate in leaves. This is found sometimes in votive columns, and we have alread)' referred to this treatment in the -capital from Naukratis. The monument is circular, v.'ith six columns, and stands on a square plinth ; walls filled in between the columns give them the appearance of being semi-detached, but the columns are com- plete : the filling-in was worked with a hollow to fit them. The entablature repeats the mouldings of the caryatide portico of the Erechtheum, but has a sculptured frieze.
