Currant details: column capital recreations

The capitals on the square columns and pilasters of Currant are scenic recreations of the original capitals surviving in the main lobby.

I laid up these capitals from my favorite water-borne resin product on molds hand carved and designed in my old shop in Sherman Heights. The picture above is a slice of Ramona D'Viola's terrific SDHG shot; below is one I took and posted here last year.
