Capital with four griffins

stone, probably marble
32 by 40 by 28cm., 12 5/8 by 15 3/4 by 11in.

Condition Report:
Overall the condition is good, with surface wear and dirt consistent with age and former placement outdoors. There are chips and abrasions to the surface throughout. A few losses, including at the corners and to the leg of one of the griffins. The head of the griffin on the left side is re-carved in what appears to be a composite material. There are some holes with evidence of former mounting at the top and bottom.
