ENTABLATURE (Lat. in, and tabula, a tablet)

This article appears in Volume V09, Page 654 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EMS-EUD
ENTABLATURE (Lat. in, and tabula, a tablet) , the architectural
term
  for the superstructure carried by the columns in the classic orders (q.v.). It usually consists of three members, the
architrave
  (the supporting member carried from column to column, pier or
wall
 ) ; the
frieze
  (the decorative member) ; andthe cornice (the projecting and protective member). Sometimes the
frieze
  is omitted, as in the
entablature
  of the portico of the caryatides of the Erechtheum. There is every reason to believe that the frieze did not exist in the archaic temple of
Diana
  at
Ephesus
 ; and it is not found in the Lycian tombs, which are reproductions in the
rock
  of timber structures based on early Ionian
work
 .
