What is a "torus"?
A torus is a rounded molding or architectural feature that is typically found at the base of a column or as part of a decorative band. It has a simple, curved shape, resembling a thick ring or doughnut. The torus provides visual interest and can help transition between different architectural elements, such as the column and the pedestal. In addition to its aesthetic function, the torus serves to direct rainwater away from the structure, protecting it from water damage. This molding is often used in classical architecture and adds to the overall design of buildings.
