cornices
Decorative ceiling edges
Cornices are decorative horizontal moldings that project along the top of a building, wall, or piece of furniture.
In architecture, a cornice caps an entablature or runs beneath a roofline: The building's ornate cornices had begun to crumble.
In mountaineering, a cornice is an overhanging mass of hardened snow at a ridge crest, formed by wind—dangerous because it can break off unexpectedly.
