Колеги, интересува ме дали има възприет английски термин в случая. Текстът е посветен на Уста Колю Фичето.

Ето контекста:
"Но стилът му бил особено изразителен при вътрешната тераса. Тези извивки се превръщат в негова запазена марка. Направил такива и при прозорците, които оградил с каменни рамки. А причудливите гърбици на корнизите са новост в архитектурата, която и до ден днешен се нарича „двойно извита Фичевска кобилица”."

recurved/curved Fichev cornice
Explanation:
The term "recurved cornice" exists, but I couldn't verify that it applies to Ficheto's work. In fact, the only Google hits for "recurved cornice" are for books about Egypt, e.g.

"Curved cornice" is more common, but the "двойно" suggests the "re."
