Decorative Block Capital

Chunk missing at the upper left, with a mess of leaves still holding on.

This decorative block capital is contemporary. A block capital is a simpler, squarer form than a scrolled or leafy one, and in modern interiors such pieces are often used as freestanding sculptural accents. Scrolling leaves rise from the center, and an open, broken section sits at the upper left, revealing an inner pattern of crossed lines. It is 12 inches wide, 4 deep and 22 high.

Missing a corner and still leading with a flourish.
