Capital from Sant Miquel de Fluvià
Capital decorated with a composition combining a floral theme with a figurative one, through a scheme that is repeated identically and symmetrically on all four sides. The lower part consists of a row of broad smooth leaves, pointing towards each corner, from which emerges and hangs an oval-shaped fruit. Above this level part of the body of a ram is depicted, virtually the head, the neck and the front legs, pointing towards the corners. Above this is the abacus, which in the middle merges with a human head. There are no signs of the existence of a neck. The relief shows the clear volumes, although at the corners fretwork is resorted to in the part that connects the leaves and the animals' heads; however, it maintains a certain roughness, almost certainly, and in part, due to the type of stone used.Capitals from the site conserved in the museumFor more information consult the article by Jordi Camps in the blog: Three Romanesque capitals from Sant Miquel de Fluvià identified in the Museu Nacional
