colonette
A modified column, small and decorated, and usually engaged. The typical form is that of a rapidly tapering shaft with a florid capital, the whole emerging from a cluster of leafage below. May also be a greatly elongated column. Most often used for visual effect rather than for structural support. Photo from Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, 2018. (Kremer, 2023)
