| الوصف: | So far there are known two rare capitals found on the Southern Coast of the Crimea. E. A. Parshina discovered scattered fragments of one capital in 1978–1980 when excavating the so-called Big House in Laspi. This capital of light grey calcareous marl is of the two-zone type and is easily reconstructible. It ended with a square slab with edges showing truncated corners and arc-shaped in plan front sides, each decorated with carved stylized leaves and having a rectangular protrusion in the middle, in the form of eight-petalled flower. The ends of the abacus were supported by identical figures of eagles from below. The birds are depicted in high relief with extreme anatomical accuracy. It is worth mentioning the sculptures’ deep emotional content and exceptional artistic expressiveness, as well as the careful elaboration of their details. The lower tier of the capital was decorated with four large leaves of fine-toothed acanthus, showing greatly bent outward, solid upper edge, and arched framing. Below, there was a border of astragal decorated with carved floral ornament. A large fragment of the second capital was discovered by the painter D. M. Strukov in 1871 during the excavations of SS Apostles Peter and Paul’s Basilica in Partenit. This find do not survive. According to Strukov’s drawing, the architectural detail ended with an abacus, supported by sculptured images of cherubs at the corners. In between the latter there were relief figures of animals holding books, the Lion and the Ox, one on each side. It seems quite possible that the lost parts of the capital were decorated with symbols of other Evangelists, the Eagle and the Angel. The two capitals in question probably date from the tenth century. Today no parallels to these capitals are known in the Crimea or outside its borders. |
