Summary/Abstract: The capitel is located in the memorial complex "Slana Banja" and is one of the first works of art by the now famous sculptor Zivorad Ciglic. The capitel consists of four basic stone surfaces (sides), reminiscent of an architectural element, an integral part of the pillar - the head, which is created for aesthetic and tectonic reasons. The motifs that adorn the Capitel are drawn on its four plots, telling about the history of Tuzla, that is, the exploitation of salt through different historical periods. Due to unfavorable atmospheric influences, deformation of the terrain, age of the monument and its inadequate maintenance, damage was noted in 2010, which will further expand until the restoration begins. The restoration of this property of artistic heritage was made between October 3 and 20, 2017, and was done by Zivorad Ciglic, author of the monument.
