Yeah, pretty easy. It's an ancient tobacco shredder from the Roman period. They would take tobacco leaves and rub them on the marble leaf making a perfect shred. The really amazing thing is that tobacco had not yet even been discovered by "modern" man. Those Romans were quite ingenious when you think about it.

Well, those carved leaves (above the stylized black oak leaves) must have been fashioned on burley, given the time period in which the column capitals were carved.
