estípite

In Spanish and Latin-American Mannerist architecture and derivatives, a shaft of square cross section, tapering downward, frequently combined with other unusual elements, the whole used like an order.

Estípite

a pilaster typical of Latin American, especially Mexican, late baroque architecture of the “ultrabaroque” style. The estípite is characterized by complex profile and a sumptuous variety of decorative trimming. It is made up of small forms that seem to be piled on one another. The estípite developed as a part of carved wooden retables; its use became widespread in 18th century stone architecture.
