Newspaper Clipping:
Title: "Fogg Museum Acquires Spanish Capitals"
Date: December 19, 1927

The article discusses the acquisition of Romanesque sculptures from the abbey of Santa Maria de Albañá by the Fogg Museum. The sculptures, specifically capitals from the year 1185, were given to the museum by friends of the museum. The capitals were originally part of a larger structure, the church of Santa Maria de Albañá, and were likely part of the cloister.

The capitals are described as being carved with intricate designs and scenes, which include a variety of subjects including human figures and animals. The article mentions that the capitals were likely removed from their original context due to the decline of the abbey and the subsequent destruction of the cloister.
