Waterleaf
In architecture, a waterleaf is a distinctive sculptural motif used on the capitals of columns and pillars in European buildings during the late twelfth century. It is characteristic of the "late Norman" style of Romanesque architecture. A waterleaf capital is formed of broad, smooth leaf-shapes, unribbed except for a central fold, which curve upward and outward before curling over at the tips where they meet the abacus. The curled tip of the waterleaf may be small and neat or large and bulbous; it usually curves inward towards the abacus, but may occasionally turn outwards.
