Answer:

Corinthian

Step-by-step explanation:

The Corinthian order was born through the "decorative enrichment" of its predecessor order, the Ionian order.

The Corinthian column is a type of column characterized by acanthus leaves in the capital. And its main characteristics are the stylized acanthus, with curved points outward, with four smaller scrolls in the corners; slimmer with approximately 11 times the diameter; shaft thinner than the Ionic order; precision of details aimed at the expression of luxury and power; the entablature and the pediment, richly adorned with relics.
