design element - architectural - arcade - blind - round arches - columns - torsade columns
Scene Description: the pattern here is one of those in-between the full arcade and the framed-ribs so common in fonts in the area -- the torsade decoration here appears only just below the spandrel where the arch-heads meet, and the rest of the 'column' is plain
