Described and illustrated in Garzya Romano (1988: 292 and pl. 95): former capital later used as holy-water stoup; the upper part has a motif imitating a metal reinforcement plate all around, with rosettes (at least one is missing) in the middle of each side; the body of the capital is made up of four pine cones, one at each corner, and four large leaves, one on each face; these pine cone motifs are compared in the source (ibid.) to the ones on the capitals at S. Demetrio in Salonica.
