Corinthian capital

Noun.

  1. The most ornate and decorative of the three Classical column capitals ([[Doric capital|Doric]], [[Ionic capital|Ionic]], and Corinthian).
  2. Characterized by acanthus leaves and scrolls, and often surrounded by a fillet (a narrow band) and a beading (a series of small rounded projections).

The Corinthian capital is typically associated with grand and luxurious architecture, and commonly used in Roman temples and public buildings, though less common in ancient Greece.
