The blades of the tower of the Romanesque church of St. Martin in Karst
The blade (lisena, lyserna) is a vertical flat and narrow protrusion of a wall that does not have a base and capitals , unlike pilasters . As a rule, it has a shape slightly protruding from the plane of the wall in its entire height. That part of the plane of the wall, which is located between adjacent blades, is called pryasla .
The spatula is a characteristic element of medieval Western European and Old Russian architecture. It can be either a decorative (serving for vertical partitioning of the wall plane), or a structural element (serving to reinforce the wall) [1] [2] .
