Reference to what Ruskin calls the ‘Ice Plinth’. He identifies four horizontal architectural features as ‘plinths’ on the western façade and sides of St Mark’s. The Basic Plinth; a second plinth just above it on which stand the lower storey columns; the Great Plinth between the upper and lower columns which is a dominant wide band; and the Ice Plinth which surmounts the upper columns.
The Ice Plinth is listed at Notebook M2 p.194 (Index) and St M[arks] Book p.19; St M[arks] Book pp.33L and 33; St M[arks] Book p.34; St M[arks] Book p.43L; St M[arks] Book p.52; St M[arks] Book p.53; St M[arks] Book p.54 and St M[arks] Book p.83L.
