On the Capitol lawn in Richmond VA today.
My guess is that part of that included reattaching the pediment where the original rebar was failing. Possibly by installing a new superstructure- a continuous piece along the gable- and then attaching the pediment to that.
And I’m guessing that wasn’t strong enough for the weight of the pediment

This is on a different pediment of the same building. And at the moment, hurts more.

One of my all time favourite church doorways! 😍 The broken pediment with elliptical window is so unusual 🤩

Love this pediment, topped with a sculpted and painted fruit basket, above the entrance to the former fruit market on Candleriggs in the Merchant City area of Glasgow.

Pediment of the Temple of Sulis Minerva in the Roman Baths Museum in Bath. It is now generally recognised that it is probably the work of sculptors from Gaul in the later first century AD. #RomanSiteSaturday

I do love the "Jirel battles the Parthenon pediment" cover
Today's Classic Cover is the 1982 Ace Fantasy Paperback edition of Jirel of Joiry (cover artist unknown). CL Moore originally published the Jirel of Joiry stories in the 1930s in the magazine Weird Tales. They stood out as early examples of the sword & sorcery genre and for their female protagonist

Possibly the most sublime Roman fresco of a temple.
The architectural detail of the spiky-topped wooden barrier, the painted relief in the pediment, & the offerings burning on the altar; it’s a symphony of observations.

This is the magnificent but baffling pediment of the Roman temple of Sulis Minerva in Bath. Discovered in 1790, its symbolism has been much debated since. The head at the centre seems to represent a male Gorgon, while a little owl can be seen just to the right of the central roundel #ReliefWednesday
