husk
Isaac Kremer/ September 9, 2018/ / 0 comments
Classical ornament in the form of a stylized bell-flower, nut-shell, or wheat-ear, usually in series, linked together in drops, festoons, garlands, or strings. When composed to form a husk-garland, the vertical parts hanging on each side often have nut-shells diminishing in size towards the bottom, although, like festoons, they increase in size towards the center of the catenary curve.
