Capital, Abbey Church of St James, Lébény, Hungary 1208

This Romanesque capital from the Abbey Church of St James in Lébény, Hungary, dates back to 1208. The capital depicts an angel with outstretched wings, carved in a style typical of Romanesque architecture, with a focus on strong, simplified forms. The angel's face is serene, and the wings are rendered in a stylized, abstract manner, emphasizing their symbolic power rather than realistic detail. The capital showcases the rich artistic tradition of the Romanesque period, where religious imagery was a central element in architectural decoration.
