A round, convex molding. See Illust. of {Column}.
Note: In Roman work it is usually a quarter circle in
section; in Greek work it is flatter, and is equivalent

curve of the shell of the sea urchin. In medi[ae]val
architecture it is not distinguishable from the
multitude of convex moldings, of all sections, which
are used.
