Pseudo-Ionic Nabataean capital

A variation of the classical Ionic capital, adapted in Nabataean architecture. It retains the characteristic volutes (spiral scrolls) of the Ionic order but simplifies or alters other elements, such as the absence of the typical fluted shaft and additional decorative details. This adaptation reflects the fusion of Greek and Roman influences with local Nabataean stylistic preferences, frequently seen in the architectural remains of Petra.
