This capital dates from the late Archaic period. It is a typical example of Aeolian architecture, which was quite common in Lesbos. It is preserved in a good condition with a few cracks on the volutes and the palmette. The Aeolic capital comprises two upward and opposed springing volutes (also called scrolls) in the echinus and a palmette between them. The echinus itself is decorated with an egg-and-dart motif, which develops into a five-leaved palmette, while on both sides of the palmette there are two long leaves crowning the volutes. The outline of the external side of the leaves is decorated with a relief band. This type of capital was the main characteristic of the late Archaic temple of Apollo at Klopede in Lesbos.
