A capital to be placed upon a hollow column having a non-uniform cross section with a maximum inner dimension and a minimum inner dimension. The capital has an ornamental upper portion attached to a neck. The neck possesses a maximum outer cross-sectional dimension which is intermediate in size between the maximum inner cross-sectional dimension of the portion of the column intended to be occupied by the neck and the minimum inner cross-sectional dimension of the portion of the column intended to be occupied by said neck. The neck also has a minimum outer cross-sectional dimension smaller than the minimum inner cross-sectional dimension of the portion of the column intended to be occupied by said neck. The neck is inserted into the column so that its maximum outer cross-sectional dimension is not aligned with the minimum inner cross-sectional dimension of the column and then twisted generally to align the maximum outer cross-sectional dimension of the neck with the minimum inner cross-sectional dimension of the column. Optionally, a shim can be used with a neck the maximum outer cross-sectional dimension of which is smaller than the minimum inner cross-sectional dimension of the portion of the column intended to be occupied by the neck.
