Editing Entablature (section)

=== Doric ===
In the pure classical [[Doric order]] entablature is simple. The architrave, the lowest band, is split, from bottom to top, into the [[guttae]], the [[regulae]], and the [[taenia (architecture)|taenia]].

The frieze is dominated by the [[triglyph]]s, vertically channelled tablets, separated by [[metope (architecture)|metopes]], which may or may not be decorated. The triglyphs sit on top of the taenia, a flat, thin, horizontal protrusion, and are finished at the bottom by decoration (often ornate) of 'drops' called guttae, which belong to the top of the architrave. The top of the triglyphs meet the protrusion of the cornice from the entablature. The underside of this protrusion is decorated with [[mutules]], tablets that are typically finished with guttae.

The cornice is split into the [[soffit]], the corona, and the [[cymatium]]. The soffit is simply the exposed underside. The corona and the cymatium are the principal parts of the cornice.
