“Sommoscapo” (1) of a Ionian column. Upper band partially decorated with a so-called “anthemion”, a frieze of alternating palmettes and lotus flowers. Probative comparison with a similar element from the temple of Marasà in Locris, dating back to 480-470 B.C. In this case, the element has smaller dimensions and originates from a different cave. Partially degraded by Lithophages. Quadrangular hole for inserting a cramp in the upper section.
