The ornamental work forming the top of a screen or wall, or the decorative railing running along the ridge of a roof; oftentimes perforated as well as decorated. A crest differs from a ridgecap in that the former is employed as a decorative device, the latter as a means of covering the ridge of a roof. Photo from Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, Newark, New Jersey, 2019. (Phillips, 1994)
