Tech/Engineering - Architecture
Dutch term or phrase: holkeellijst
a classical and neo-classical feature as far as I can see...

There's a photo here

http://www.perkemet.be/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2810

but in my text it is on a 'low wall'

'Deze zuilen zijn verbonden door lage muren, bekroond met een holkeellijst'

I thought it might be 'cornice' but that appears elsewhere as 'kroonlijst'

TIA for any help!
