Capital with the form of an inverted-pyramid trunk featuring plant and human figuration. Two young men adorn the profiles of the edges of the capital. Their clothing clings to their bodies, highlighting their anatomy, with folds represented by confident and skillfully created grooves In their hands, they grasp stems that they pull from the centre of the bottom area.

It was recovered from the Turó de Sant Magí having ended up there following the refurbishment of the cloisters in the mid-18th century.
