When the crowning moulding of an entablature is of the cyma form, it is called a “cymatium.”
The corona is bordered by the so-called Doric cyma, or beak-moulding, distantly resembling the scotia of Egypt and Mesopotamia.
The parapet above, including its cyma and corona, is one half the height of the parapet below.
The members of the entablature are exceedingly high and heavy, as are the details, down to the trunnels and cyma.
The Doric cyma is commonly called the beak-moulding, the Lesbian cyma the cyma reversa.
The cornice is of grey marble with a 'cyma recta' section, and is carved with an upright leaf.
