The plant leaves, in their spiny, deeply cut shape, resemble spikes or sword blades. Acanthus foliage is one of the most common forms of ornament and decoration since ancient Roman and ancient Green times. Its popularity is related to Callimachus, a Greek architect, and sculptor inspired by the sight of a votive basket left on the grave of a young girl. An acanthus plant had grown through the woven basket, mixing its leaves with the weave of the basket. This story perfectly captures the essence of this plant, which rises to the sky decorating the architectural ensembles of Byzantine, Romanesque, and Gothic architecture.
