Gothic late-12th and 13th stylized three-lobed carved foliage, usually an enrichment of bosses and capitals (see capital illustration) evolved from crocketed capital designs, mostly English rather than Continental, and is characteristic of First-Pointed work. 2. In Neo-Classical ornament, a vertical leaf- or feather-form repeated in series on e.g. friezes. (Curl & Wilson, 2016)
