PRASTARA—The entablature. It comprises the parts of an order above a column. The assemblage is divided into three parts in the European architecture, namely the architrave which rests immediately on the column, the frieze next over the architrave being the middle member, and the cornice which is the uppermost part. These three parts are again variously subdivided. For its synonyms, *see* *M.*, xvi, 18–20, 42–44. It is also used as a synonym for plinth (*M.*, xxxiii, 220–227).
