anthemion (plant-derived motifs, motifs, ... Design Elements (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Motif found in bands of architectural decoration, comprising alternating palmette and lotus motifs, which in Classical ornament emerge from an acanthine calyx and are joined to one another by curving S-shaped scrolls. The motif is found in Greek and later classicizing styles, including Byzantine, medieval, and Neo-Classical art. The term comes from the Greek term for "flower." The similarities observed between the Classical palmette and the flower of the honeysuckle prompted many 18th century architects and craftsmen to use the term "anthemion" as a synonym for "honeysuckle" or "palmette." To refer to either of these motifs alone, use the appropriate term rather than "anthemion."

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 建築裝飾之嵌條中所見的紋飾,由棕櫚葉飾與蓮花紋飾交替組成,在古典裝飾裡,浮現於葉薊花萼中,並以彎曲的S形渦卷裝飾相互連接。該紋飾見於希臘與後來的仿古典風格,包括拜占庭、中世紀,以及新古典主義藝術。本詞彙源自希臘語的「花朵」。古典棕櫚葉飾與忍冬花之間的相似性,讓許多十八世紀的建築師與工匠,將忍冬飾(anthemion)一詞,當做「忍冬飾(honeysuckle)」或「棕櫚葉飾(palmette)」的同義詞使用。若想單獨指稱其中一種紋飾,請使用相對應的詞彙,而非「忍冬飾」。 
Dutch ..... Gestileerde bloem- en rankenmotieven, meestal in de vorm van palmet- of kamperfoeliemotieven afgewisseld met lotusbloemen of andere soortgelijke planten met kwab- of bladvormen die stervormig uitlopen vanuit de basis. Komt voor in Griekse en latere antiquiserende stijlen. De term is ontleend aan het Griekse woord voor bloem, en wordt soms ook gebruikt als verwijzing naar één bloem, een kamperfoelie of palmet. 
Spanish ..... Úsese para series de flores y motivos foliados estandarizados, normalmente palmetas que se alternan con lotos, u otras formas similares que tienen partes redondas o formas de hojas que irradian de una base. A veces usado para motivos particulares. Encontrado en los estilos griego y clasicismo tardío.
