Cornice

In architecture, a cornice is generally any horizontal decorative moulding that crowns a building or furniture element. Examples include the cornice over a door or window, around the top edge of a pedestal, or along the top of an interior wall. A simple cornice may be formed with a crown, as in crown moulding atop an interior wall or above kitchen cabinets or a bookcase.
