In many cases the Pilaster or wall-pier shaft' is devoid of orna- ment. Unlike the column, the Pilaster does not, as a rule, taper up- wards; and if the Pilaster is ornamented with fluting the tapering is never permissible. The Pilaster frequently has cinctures, generally two, the lower at ^/g, the upper at ^/s of its height.- The ornamental decoration, when present, takes the form of an elongated, sunk panel bordered by a moulding. The ornamentation may be of three kinds: firstly: an ascending plant motive may be used, rising symmetrically or in the form of a wavy Hne from calices, vases, &c., animal and human figures being not infrequent accessories; secondly, the decora- tion may consist of festoons of flowers, fruits, trophies, shields, &c., varied by knots and ribbons, the points of suspension being rosettes, rings, lion heads, &c.; thirdly, the panel may be decorated with flat strapwork, as in the Elizabethan manner. Of these three kinds of decoration the first is the most used; and the most suitable. Few Antique examples have come down to us; the Middle Ages make scarcely any use of the Pilaster; but the Renascence is much richer in such examples. Stalls, Altars, Sepulchral - monuments are scarcely to be found without Pilasters. Plate 131 ofi^ers a small selection from the copious material; all the panels show the first of the three kinds of decoration. Plate 131. The Phi-aster Panel. 1. Italian Renascence. 2 5.
