Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian
A Corinthian column is one of three styles or orders of Ancient Greek columns. It is the one that is most fancy at the top. Basically there are three main types of columns. Doric, Ionic and Corinthian. (Composite is a style that is a combination of Ionic and Corinthian.) The Corinthian column has a large capital (top) in a shape like an inverted bell that features acanthus leaves, and above these four equally spaced scrolls, palm leaves or lotus leaves. It looks like many little leaves or petals are curling up to the top. The column is relatively slender and has vertical curved grooves with flat bands between them. The column has a base that is visually a circular platform simply decorated by an ogee like curved profile.
