Best Answer

A Corinthian is either: * a person or thing from the city of Corinth; or

* a style of Ancient Greek column which 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. 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.
