Corinthian Columns

Corinthian columns are the most elaborate order of Greek architecture, distinguished by slender shafts and inverted bell shaped capitals, decorated with acanthus leaves and volutes. The ratio of the shaft base diameter (in inches) is approximately equal to 1.25 times the height (in feet) for tapered shaft columns and 1.0 for straight shaft columns. Shafts are available in smooth or fluted surface.
