The Corinthian order of architecture was a light, ornamental style of architecture invented by the Greeks, but more commonly used by the Romans. It is characterised by ornate bases and even more ornate capitals, often decorated with graceful foliated forms. The column is generally fluted, with a fillet between the flutings, and stands upon a base. The entablature is variously decorated, especially the cornice ; the frieze may be quite plain, or sculptured with foliage and animals. Research Corinthian Order
