The most distinctive feature, however, is the double denticulated molding of the pedimental cornice with prominent drilled holes in each dentil alternately at top and bottom.
It is also repeated above the double denticulated member of the cornice, the latter enriched by a hole drilled in each dentil alternately above and below.
The dentil course of the pedimental cornice takes the form of a peculiar reeded H pattern which is repeated in much finer scale on the edge of the corona, the abacus of the capitals and its continuation across the lintel of the door.
Around it are carried the chaste Ionic cornice with its prominent dentil course; and the paneled wainscot below corresponds to the pedestal of the order.
The engaged colonnettes of the mullions contrast pleasingly with the pilasters of the frame, each of the two supporting an entablature notable for its fine-scale dentil course, and these two in turn supporting a keyed, molded arch.
Beneath a conventional cymatium and corona, with projections above the pilasters and central panel of the frieze, is a nicely worked dentil course,--a band of vertical flutes with a drilled tooth in the upper half of each alternate flute.
The pediment framing the simple but very graceful fanlight is enriched by cornice moldings, hand-tooled to fine scale, the soffit of the corona being fluted, the bed-molding reeded and the dentilcourse being a familiar Grecian fret.
A fine-scale dentil course lends interest to the pedimental cornice, while the frieze portions of the entablature section of the pilasters are elaborated by flutings and drillings, the latter suggestive of a festoon.
The simple, carefully wrought dentil course of the doorheads lends a refining influence and pleasing sense of scale that seems to lighten the design very materially.
The only carved molding is the Grecian fret of the dentil course in the pedimental cornice.
An astragal with the customary bead and reel separates the cymatium and the corona, while a drilled rope supplies the bed molding above the dentil course.
It has fluted columns, an intricately hand-tooled dentil course in the cornice, richly incised architraves and carved ovolo moldings.
Apart from these three features, the only essential differences are a dentil course in the cornice like that of the first Upsala mantel described and a vertical fluted belt in the capital of the pilasters and associated moldings.
It is found in the greatest profusion in sepulchral Gothic, associated with several slight variations from the usual dentil type, of which No.
There being twenty round the circle, the reader can of course draw them for himself; they being isosceles, touching the dentil with their points, and being in contact at their bases: it has lost its central boss.
The earlier division of the wall into three parts is retained, but the painted cornice, no longer restricted to the dentil type, appears in a variety of forms.
Below was a broad surface of black; then a projecting white dentil cornice, and above this, masses of dark red, bluish green, and yellow.
Fragments of the lintel over the outer door, with its projecting dentil cornice, are preserved in one of the shops (Fig.
The entablature of the well proportioned Ionic columns presented a mixture of styles often met with in Pompeii, a Doric frieze with a dentil cornice.
On the angles are shallow grooved foliated pilasters, and under the eaves a projecting dentil cornice.
Under the eaves of the roof of the nave run a dentil moulding, and a frieze of medallions connected by an undulating line of foliage.
A delicate dentil cornice runs round the building, bending over the round-headed windows and across the buttresses.
As a general rule the projection of the dentil is equal to its width, and the intervals between to half the width.
In the later temples of Ionia, as in the temple of Priene, the larger scale of the dentilis still retained.
The Venetian dentil was also introduced as a label round arches and as a string course.
The dentil was the chief decorative feature employed in the bed-mould by the Romans and the Italian Revivalists.
In the Diaconissa the notched dentil form is used for the beads; in the Chora, a 'bead and reel.
Thekla, where the small dentil cornice is supported on long tapering corbels, a design suggested by military machicolations.
It has slightly pointed arches, with Venetian dentil borderings, and mosaics in the spandrils.
The ciborium has cipollino columns, antique caps, pointed arches, and Venetian dentil enrichments with marble inlays.
Via Abbazia--a round arch simply moulded, with a dentil round the tympanum and a lintel below.
These have sometimes been termed "the bed mouldings," and among them occurs one which is almost typical of the order, and is termed a dentil band.
