What is a "volute"?
A volute is a spiral or scroll-shaped ornament often found on the tops of columns, particularly in the Ionic order. This decorative element features a curved design that resembles a tightly rolled scroll, adding elegance and style to the column's top. Volutes can vary in size and detail, and they are commonly made from materials like stone or plaster. This feature not only enhances the beauty of the column but also contributes to the overall aesthetic of the structure, embodying classical architectural principles.
