double arch Explanation: I appreciate the picture and the explanation. Here's another: - El que posee por su exterior otra hilera de dovelas que lo perfila http://www.romanicoaragones.com/diccionario/20-1 Diccionario... and another: arco doblado El que lleva sotopuesta una segunda rosca concéntrica y de menor grosor. http://www.cnice.mecd.es/eos/MaterialesEducativos/bachillera... By doing a quick search, it seems that these double arches can be all sorts of different types, medio punto, apuntado, etc. and here: La puerta es de arco doblado, inferior en mitra y superior de medio punto, con tosco dovelaje de lajas de piedra. http://www.castillosnet.org/logrono/LO-CAS-503.shtml Two different kinds of arches altogether. Therefore, I think that just saying "double arch" will suffice. |
