What does MUTULE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A flat, projecting block set beneath the corona of a cornice in the Doric order of classical architecture.
A mutule sits under the sloping edge of a Doric roof, spaced above each triglyph and metope along the frieze, and its underside is carved with rows of small conical studs called guttae. Architects use the term when describing or reconstructing Greek and Roman temple facades, since the mutule marks where the ends of wooden rafters were once represented in stone. In the Ionic and Corinthian orders, a different projecting element called a modillion takes over the same visual role.
How MUTULE is used
A technical term from classical architecture, used mainly by architects, art historians and archaeologists describing Doric buildings.
