The ball-flower is a decorative detail in stone masonry that came to Britain with the Normans. Ball-flowers are unique; no two are identical. They were carved largely freehand, often quite crudely, and so are as individual as the mason's own handwriting. Though based on a standard pattern of three petals surronding a central ball, some rogue four-petalled examples occur. Hereford Cathedral is famous for its tower decorated with thousands of carved stone ball-flowers, having probably the largest number of them to be found on one building anywhere in the world.  3, fiche 1, Anglais, - ball%2Dflower
