cymatium

The corona and the cymatium are the principal parts of the cornice.

This is often still regarded merely as a subgenus of the genus Cymatium.

The cornice is split into the soffit, the corona, and the cymatium.

A frieze cymatium, similar to the body of the synagogue connects the dome with the tower.

The facade is topped with a wide cymatium ornamentation with geometric shapes of eight arm stars.

Similar lion-mouthed water spouts were also seen on Greek temples, carved or modeled in the marble or terracotta cymatium of the cornice.

At the top of the architrave blocks, a row of six guttae below the narrow projection of the taenia (fillet) and cymatium formed an element called a regula.

Cymatium molding appears at the top of the cornice in the classical order, and made of the s-shaped cyma molding (either cyma recta or cyma reversa).

On the South American coastline, it provides food for Callinectes danae, Cymatium parthenopeun, Chicoreus brevifrons, Thais haemastoma, and Menippe nodifroms.

Left of this door is an entrance porch, with a low round arch supported by corbels with leaf volutes and topped with a cornice with a cymatium and a dentil.

The architrave, the lowest band, is split from bottom to top into the broad fascia, the guttae or "drips" (below the triglyph in the frieze), and the taenia below the projecting cymatium).

The cymatium houses a painting portraying the Coronation of the Virgin, while at the base of the two columns are paintings, attributed to Michele Curia, the "Master of Montecalvario", of two unidentified saints.

When the concave part is uppermost, it is called a cyma recta but if the convex portion is at the top, it is called a Cyma reversa - The crowning molding at the entablature is of the cyma form, it is called a cymatium.

Similar dripping eaves existed in most of the Greek Doric temples in contradistinction to the Ionic temples, where the water of the roof was collected in the cymatium or gutter and thrown out through the mouths of lions, whose heads were carved on the cymatium.
