POPPY HEADS

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 91 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
POPPY HEADS , a
term
 , in
architecture
 , given to the finials or other ornaments which terminate the tops of
bench
  ends, either to pews or stalls. They are sometimes small human heads, sometimes richly carved images, knots of foliages or finials, and sometimes fleurs-de-lis simply cut out of the thickness of the
bench
  end and chamfered. The
term
  is probably derived from the
French
  poupee,
doll
 , puppet, used also in this sense, or from the flower, from a resemblance in shape.
