bronze, with expanded wings. The serpent or dragon was used as a particul=

the centuries had also each its ensign; but these were cloth flags. Under=

(Arch.) A horizontal
architectural member, which consists in the ancient orders of an architra=
ve,
a frieze, and a cornice. It is supported by columns, and its height varies
from four to five times the diameter of the shaft of the column of the or=
der
to which it belongs. When several ancient orders are placed one above the
other, the entablature of the intermediate orders has no cornice. This is
reserved for the top story of the building. In modern buildings columns a=
nd
pilasters are generally surmounted by an entablature, the height of which
varies according to the space at the disposal of the architect, due regard
being kept of course to harmony of proportion. Sometimes too a false
entablature is placed at the summit of a façade, although there ar=
e no
pilasters to justify its existence. Entablatures surmounted by projecting
cornices are sometimes mere opportunities for decoration, and are taken
advantage of to hide the slope of a roof, gutters, &c. The mouldings which cap pieces of furniture are also te=
rmed
entablatures. ILLUS. entablat(1891a1)
