peer agreement (net): +2leaf and dart Explanation: (I assume you're talking about the lower frieze in the gallica.bnf.fr image) "Leaf and Dart is the technical term for it, I believe --I've never seen it in French (which doesn't mean anything). http://buffaloah.com/a/del/506/source/9.html Although I'd say that the "dart" has been replaced by another leaf form in that example (as well as the one you posted). Here's a real Leaf & Dart: http://buffaloah.com/a/del/690/add/source/20.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2014-02-12 16:17:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The replacement of the "dart" by a leaf seems to put this genre of frieze in the neighborhood of what this site http://buffaloah.com/a/DCTNRY/l/leaf.html calls "Lesbian leaf: distinguished by a prominent center rib" However, since proz.com is a Family site, I'm not sure whether we can use that nomenclature or not. Google the term and you get some hits which are pretty close to R-rated: http://tinyurl.com/lcwdpu7 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2014-02-12 16:22:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The terminology of your souse, Tortola, is pretty sloppy. The upper frieze in the gallica.bnf.fr image isn't made up of "oves" (oeufs?) at all --it's rather closer to a "bead and reel" http://www.pitt.edu/~medart/menuglossary/beadandreel.htm I assume we are talking about a post-medieval convent here? |
