(2) "A kapotam is a section of moulding made in the form of a pigeon’s head. It is a crowning member of cornices, pedestals and entablatures. When employed in the latter, it often connects utility with beauty, inasmuch as the beak of the bird is so placed as to serve the purpose of a spout." (Rām Rāz, Ess. arch. of Hind. p. 24).
