COMPOSITE ORDER , in architecture , a compound of the Ionic and Corinthian orders (see ORDER), the chief
capital (q.v.), where a double
round the Corinthian capital , has been added under the Ionic volutes. The richer decoration of the Tonic capital had already been employed in those of the Erechtheum, where the necking was carved with the palmette or honeysuckle . Similar decorated Ionic capitals were found in the forum of Trajan. The earliest example of the Composite capital is found in the arch
entablature was borrowed from that of the Corinthian order.End of Article: COMPOSITE ORDER If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
