What is a "boss"?

A boss is an architectural term that refers to a decorative feature found at the intersection of ribbed vaults in a ceiling or at the end of a column. Typically made of stone or plaster, a boss serves both structural and ornamental purposes, helping to distribute weight while adding visual interest to the design. Bosses can be elaborately carved with various motifs, including floral patterns, figures, or symbols that reflect the cultural or religious significance of the building. This element is commonly seen in Gothic architecture, particularly in cathedrals and churches, where it enhances the overall beauty and intricacy of the vaulted ceilings.
