lunettes

Crescent-shaped wall openings

Lunettes are crescent-shaped or semicircular objects.

In architecture, a lunette is an arched opening or decorative space above a door or window, often filled with a painting or sculpture.

In fortification, a lunette is a defensive earthwork with two projecting faces.

The word also refers to a type of eyeglasses, particularly in French: She adjusted her lunettes and continued reading.
