great plinth

One of the plinths running along the church. Ruskin 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, a dominant wide band; and the Ice Plinth which surmounts the upper columns.
