Cornice, four-lobed and quadrate (Period)

A cornice is an architectural feature, consisting of a molded projection from a wall or pillar.  As the term is used in the Society, it refers specifically to the molded frame of a decorative window; the period heraldic example, the arms of de Bolonia, mid-15^th C. [Triv 64; cf. BSB 270:185, c.1550] depicts a four-lobed quadrate frame consistent with Gothic tracery.  See also edifice, foil.
