A bracketed cornice is a decorative architectural feature found at the top of a building's façade, typically located where the roof and the exterior walls meet. It consists of a horizontal projection or overhang supported by brackets or corbels. These brackets are usually made of wood, stone, or metal and are commonly designed in a decorative or ornate style. The bracketed cornice serves both functional and aesthetic purposes, providing structural support and protection for the building while also adding visual interest to its overall design.
