What is a "dogtooth"?
A dogtooth is a decorative architectural element characterized by a zigzag or triangular pattern, often used in stonework or brickwork. This feature is typically arranged in a series along a ledge, edge, or wall, creating a visually striking effect. Dogtooth patterns are commonly found in Gothic and Romanesque architecture, adding texture and detail to the structure. The design resembles the shape of a dog's tooth, which gives it its name. Dogtooths enhance the overall aesthetic of a building, contributing to its character and intricacy.
