Architrave fragment

This is an architrave fragment with a plant frieze. An architrave is the lintel or beam that rests on the capitals of the columns. It is an architectural element in Classical architecture. The term can also be applied to all sides, including the vertical members, of a frame with mouldings around a door or window. The word architrave is also used to refer more generally to a style of mouldings (or other elements) framing the top of a door, window or other rectangular opening, where the horizontal head casing extends across the tops of the vertical side casings where the elements join (creating a butt joint, as opposed to a miter joint). The term architrave has also been used in academic writing to mean the fundamental part of something (a speech, a thought or a reasoning), or the basis upon which an idea, reasoning, thought or philosophy is built. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architrave
