(1) Anthemion (pl. Anthemia) has its origin from the Greek word Anthos - a little flower. Initially developed by the Greeks from the Egyptian and Asiatic form known as the honeysuckle or lotus palmette it is a floral design consisting of a number of radiating petals and was widely used by the ancient Greeks and Romans to embellish various forms within architecture and general decoration.

The Greeks originally only decorated pottery with the motif, but they soon adapted it to ornament architecture. The single-palmette form appears on acroteria (decorative pedestals), antefixes (roof or cornice elements), and the top of vertical stelae. The continuous pattern of alternating lotus and palmette springing from connecting spirals decorates especially the cyma recta moulding of the cornice.
