Art/Literary - Architecture
Romanian term or phrase: consolă
De tip sală, cu absida altarului poligonală decroşată, biserica a fost înălţată în secolul XV, în locul unui edificiu romanic databil la mijlocul veacului al XIII-lea. Portalul gotic cu baghete şi console şi două tabernacole decorate cu elemente arhitectonice sunt mărturia acestei vechimi.

console
Explanation:
in architecture, type of bracket or corbel, particularly one with a scroll-shaped profile: usually an ogee (S or inverted S curve) or double-ogee terminating in volutes (spirals) above and below. A console projects about one-half its height or less to support a windowhead, cornice, shelf, or sculpture. The difference between a console and other varieties of bracket has more to do with where it is used than its appearance, though in general a cantilever or modillion is supposed to project farther than a console in proportion to its height.
