Usage examples (11)

  • Finally, attention may be called to the ASTRAGAL or PEARL-BEADING just under the ovolo in Figs. 61, 71.
  • The common base moulding resembles in form or contour a quirked ovolo reversed; there are, however, many exceptions.
  • I should prefer however to have only the ovolo of the Abacus carved, and it's cavetto plain, as may be seen in Scamozz Chambray's edition B.II. chapt.
