Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BALUSTRADE , a
parapet
  or low screen consisting of a
coping
  or
rail
  supported on balusters (q.v.). Sometimes it is employed purely as a decorative feature beneath the
sill
  of a window which was not carried down to. the ground. Sometimes flowing foliage takes the
place
  of the
parapet
 , and sometimes so-called balustrades are formed of
vertical
  slabs of
stone
 , pierced as in the Ca' d'oro at Venice and the balconies of the minarets at Cairo.
