The Sarnath capital is a pillar capital, sometimes also described as a "stone bracket", discovered in the archaeological excavations at the ancient Buddhist site of Sarnath in 1905. The pillar displays Ionic volutes and palmettes. It used to be dated to the 3rd century BCE, during the Mauryan Empire period, but is now dated to the 1st century BCE, during the Sunga Empire period. One of the faces shows a galloping horse carrying a rider, while the other face shows an elephant and its mahaut. The capital is now located in the Sarnath Museum.

- Le chapiteau de Sarnath est un chapiteau de pilier, parfois également décrit comme une « console en pierre », il a été découvert lors des fouilles archéologiques de l'ancien site bouddhiste de Sarnath en 1905. Le pilier présente des volutes et des palmettes ioniques. Il date du IIIe siècle av. J.-C., à l'époque de l'Empire Mauryan mais est maintenant daté du Ier siècle av. J.-C., pendant la période de l'Empire Sunga.L'une de ses faces montre un cheval au galop portant un cavalier, tandis que l'autre montre un éléphant et son cornac. Le chapiteau est maintenant exposé dans le musée de Sarnath. (fr)

Le chapiteau rappelle l'ordre ionique hellénistique et est souvent comparé au chapiteau Pataliputra. Les deux chapiteaux ont également été qualifiées de « quasi-ioniques », et comparés par exemple aux chapiteaux anta du temple d'Apollon à Didyme. Le chapiteau est maintenant exposé dans le musée de Sarnath.

One of the faces shows a galloping horse carrying a rider, while the other face shows an elephant and its mahaut. The capital is suggestive of the Hellenistic Ionic order, and is often discussed in conjunction with the Pataliputra capital. The two capitals have also been described as "quasi-Ionic", and compared for example to the anta capitals of the Temple of Apollo in Didyma. The capital is now located in the Sarnath Museum.
