Ruskin’s diagram focuses on the way the ice plinth meets at the curve of the central arch.
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, 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.
