It is against this vase or bell that all the ornaments that have been detailed are attached. In order to draw each one in its own place in the general elevation—after having made the section, or profile, of the bell, with the astragal of the shaft—mark on a ver tical line the height of the small leaf, thirteen parts; above this the height of the large leaf, twelve; then the distance above the large leaves up to the volute, six; next mark the height of the tuni-over of the small and the large leaves, four; and the turn over of the caulicoli, three and five-tenths. Through all these dif ferent points draw horizontal lines across the width of the bell. All the projections are figured from verticals erected from the face of the column above the astragal. The small leaf projects six, the large one nine, the leaf of the caulicolfis fifteen and five-tenths, and the volute seventeen.
90. In order to draw the elevatioh of the Corinthian capital it is necessary to consider first its outline as a section, and to lay out carefully, in plan, the arrangement of its leaf ornaments, as shown in Plate XVII. By means of this section and plan, the elevation may be exactly determined, after the individual parts, with their arrangement, are thoroughly understood.
91. The capital of the pilaster is composed of the same ele ments as that of the column; but as the plan of the pilaster is square the forms are slightly different; thus the vase, which is square at its base above the astragal, has convex faces; each face of the vase has two small leaves square in plan, and centering on perpendiculars at a distance of nine from the center line. Larger leaves are placed in the center of each face and at each angle. The abacus and other details are exactly similar to those of the capital of the column.
92. The Corinthian architrave (Plate XVIII) is thirty parts in height and divided into three bands; the first, five and five tenths; second, six and five-tenths; and the third, seven and five tenths. Between the first and the second there is a bead of one; between the second and the third, a cyma of two; above the third face there is a bead of one and five-tenths; cyma-reversa, three and five-tenths; and a fillet, two and five-tenths. The total pro jection of the architrave from the frieze is five and five-tenths.
93. The frieze has the same height as the architrave, and is terminated against the cornice by an astragal of one and five-tenths, of Which five-tenths is for the fillet and one for the bead.
94. The Corinthian cornice has a total height of forty parts and its projection is equal to its height. It is divided thus: first,
a cyma of three; second, a flat band of six and five-tenths, against which is placed a row of dentils five and five-tenths deep; third, an astragal one and five-tenths; fourth, a quarter-round three and five-tenths; fifth, a flat band of seven, against which are placed modillions six and five-tenths parts deep; sixth, a cyma of one and five-tenths which is mitred around the modillions and which crowns them; seventh, a corona of seven; eighth, a cyma of one and five-tenths; ninth, a fillet of one; tenth, a cyma-recta of five, and a fillet of two and five-tenths.
The total projection of forty is' divided as follows: four parts for the cyma, four for the dentils, five for the astragal, the quarter round, and the flat band of the modillions; eighteen for the modil lions up to the lower angle of the cyma; one for the cyma reversa; one for the corona; two for the upper cyma and its listel;- and five for the cyma-recta.
95. The cornice of the Corinthian order is distinguished by the consoles which support the corona and which are called modil lions. The modillion is composed of two volutes or spirals similar to the keystone which we have already analyzed in Fig. 16, but while in the keystone the large spiral is found at the highest part, in the console it is at the back and attached to the face of the cornice.
The lower side of the modillion is covered by an ornamented leaf, whose head curves back against the smaller volute. The gen. eral proportions and curves of this leaf are indicated in Plate In practice, the console is drawn free-hand after laying out the general proportions.
The modillions are nine parts in width and are sliced seven teen and five-tenths apart or twenty-six and five-tenths from center to center; the.dentils are four parts wide and are two apaft. Against the cyma-recta very frequently is placed a row of masks in • the form of lions' heads to serve as water spouts. These masks occur over the center of the modillions.
The soffit of the corona is ornamented between the modillionk, with panels containing rosettes. !Mg. 14.) 96. The base of the Corinthian Order (Plate XIX) is com poled of a plinth, two torus mouldings, and two scotias separated by a double bead. Its total height is twenty-three, of which seven and five-tenths is for the plinth; five and five-tenths for the first torus; one for the fillet; one and five-tenths for the first two for the beads and their annulets; one and five-tenths for the second scotia; five-tenths for its listel; and three and five-tenths for the second torus.
