The Ionic order is based on a set of proportions and includes a particular kind of column base and lintel as well as capital. The order was also used by the Romans.

An Ionic capital has a volute, or a spiral scroll-like carving, on each side as its major decoration, Ionic capitals are relatively rare in medieval buildings. 3, record 3, English, - Ionic%20capital
