Doric Order

One of the architectural orders developed in ancient Greece.

The Doric style consists typically of a channeled column without a base, having as a capital a circular echinus supporting a square abacus, above which is a plain architrave, a frieze of triglyphs and metopes, a cornice, the corona of which has mutules on its soffit; for an example of Doric columns see:
