What is a "scotia"?
A scotia is a curved molding or groove that is typically used to create a transition between different surfaces, often found at the base of columns or along the edges of walls. This rounded design adds visual interest and can soften the appearance of corners or edges. Scotiae can vary in size and depth, contributing to the overall style and elegance of a structure. Commonly made from materials such as plaster or wood, scotia moldings enhance the beauty of architectural elements by adding detail and sophistication.
