Capital of a half-column decorated with wide, bowing down palm leaves, from the cathedral of Gyulafehérvár (today Alba Iulia, Romania). Decorated with figural and foliage ornamentation, these Romanesque capitals date from the twelfth- and thirteenth-century period of the so-called second cathedral.
Commissioned by the museum in 1905, the cast was made by József Reichenberger in Budapest. It was built into the pillar of the Romanesque Hall in 1910.
