[continued]

‘To the established decorative repertory of mo[u]ldings and carved ornament was added a variety of formal and animal forms that enriched the surface decoration of buildings. In the East especially these forms were combined in original ways that, together with compositions that defied the logic of the Classical orders, tended to a style that in many respects anticipates the Baroque.’*
