entablature

Where it comes from
From Italian intavolatura, from in + tavola (“table”).
noun entablatures
-
All of that part of a classical temple above the capitals of the columns; includes the architrave, frieze, and cornice but not the roof.
In the midst was one immense cedar, worthy to have been a summer palace on Lebanon; beneath, sheltered by its huge boughs from the sun, was a well, whose square marble walls were covered with the entablatures of the Roman days,—oval compartments of figures, surrounded by a carved wreath of the palm.
