Modillions under the cornice of the Morgan, Leith, and Cook Building in the East Portland Grand Avenue Historic District
A modillion is an ornate bracket, a corbel, underneath a cornice and supporting it, more elaborate than dentils (literally translated as small teeth). All of these words are commonly used as verbs in a historic tense to describe neatly any particular structure, such as a parapet or eaves. They occur classically under a Corinthian or a Composite cornice, but may support any type of eaves cornice.[1] Modillions may be carved or plain.
