Bossage

Bossage is uncut stone that is laid in place in a building, projecting outward from the building, to later be carved into decorative moldings, capitals, arms, etc.

Description

Bossages are also rustic work, consisting of stones which seem to advance beyond the surface of the building, by reason of indentures, or channels left in the joinings; used chiefly in the corners of buildings, and called rustic quoins. The cavity or indenture may be round, square, chamfered, beveled, diamond-shaped, or enclosed with a cavetto or listel.[1]

gollark: CPU power runs off 12V, as far as I know.
gollark: Also, they are anyway.
gollark: It seems like a good cost-saving measure.
gollark: Well, sure, but those are rare, and iGPUs mean significant tradeoffs in CPU availability.
