Architecture in Italy, from the sixth to the eleventh century; historical and critical researches . Fig. 137.—-Frieze and Capital of the Balustrades of the Cathedral at Grado. little pilasters, on the front of ^\hicll are seen squares andbraidings, and on the sides grooves which were originally intendedto receive the parapets.
