A Doric Capital is the simple, unadorned top section of a Doric column, consisting of a rounded echinus supporting a square abacus. As the most restrained of the classical orders, the Doric capital embodies strength, proportion and architectural simplicity. It became widely adopted in Georgian and Neo-Classical architecture and frequently appears on antique furniture, fireplaces and pedestals. *Related Terms*\ Capital, Classical Architecture, Column, Doric Column, Doric Order.
