Here is an excellent example of a classic pair of ShapeCrete® Ionic Capitals on top of Half Fluted DecraShape® Columns manufactured by Accumen Shapes Ltd. You will notice a spiral scroll on each side of the Ionic Capitals, most likely inspired originally by the horns of a ram. These beautiful Accumen® Columns are showcased in one of Ponsonby’s most prestigious shops.
