See also:

• LAT

Lat. finis, end)  , an architectural term for the termination of a pinnacle, gable end, buttress, or canopy, consisting of a bunch of foliage, which bears a close affinity to the crockets (q.v.) running up the gables, turrets or spires, and in some cases may be formed by uniting four or more crockets together . Sometimes the term is in-correctly applied to a small pinnacle of which it is only the termination (see Era) .
