peer agreement (net): +2Roman(esque) cabled fluting Explanation: Might work here... It is difficult to make out the precise structure in the picture. In der römischen Architektur werden in ähnlicher Weise die Kanneluren im unteren Teil des Säulenschaftes manchmal mit schmalen Rundstäben, sogenannten *Pfeifen*, gefüllt. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kannelierung If the lower half of the hollowed-out grooves appear to have been re-filled with a cylindrical element, it may be referred to as "Cabled Fluting."[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluting_(architecture) |
