This piece was featured in the P.P. Caproni and Brother catalogs as an architectural study. It continues to be a great art study today and can also be used as decoration. The design is from a frieze - a long and narrow architectural panel - which might have decorated an ancient Roman building. Originating in ancient Egypt and Asia, this motif, in its many variations, is widely known as the palmette. In ancient Greece and Rome, it was referred to as the anthemion or honeysuckle ornament. The anthemion regularly graced architecture, either in a repeating pattern or singularly on antefixes, or on decorative objects, often in a pattern. In the original frieze, this anthemion alternated with two other motifs.
