Pseudo-Doric capital

A simplified version of the classical Doric capital, found in Nabataean and other regional architectures that adapted Greek influences. Unlike the traditional Doric capital, which features a plain, rounded echinus and abacus, the pseudo-Doric version modifies or omits certain details, such as the fluted shaft or sharp, geometric transitions, creating a more stylized and less rigid appearance. This form reflects the blending of classical Greek motifs with local architectural practices.
