An ornament in the frieze of the Doric order, repeated at equal intervals. Each triglyph consists of a rectangular tablet, slightly projecting, and divided nearly to the top by two parallel and perpendicular gutters, or channels, called glyphs, into three parts, or spaces, called femora. A half channel, or glyph, is also cut upon each of the perpendicular edges of the tablet. See Illust. of Entablature.
referring to Doric architecture a projecting rectangular tablet with three vertical grooves used on the ornamental friezes.
a block separating metopes in a Doric frieze; each has two vertical grooves (or glyphs) in the center and half grooves at the edges
From the Greek for three grooves. An ornamental member of a Doric frieze, placed between two metopes and consisting of a rectangular slab with two complete grooves in the center and a half-groove at either side. Originally the end of a wooden ceiling beam.
Slotted blocks which alternate with metopes in a Doric frieze. Each one has two vertical grooves in the center and a half groove at each edge.
projecting members separating the metopes of a Doric frieze and divided into three strips by two vertical grooves
A rectangular block between metopes in a Doric frieze usually ornamented by vertical grooves.
A projecting rectangular block used in series in a classical Doric frieze, distinguished by three vertical bands separated by shallow V-shaped grooves. Triglyphs alternate with plain or sculpted panels (metopes).

Banded decoration in a frieze
A decorative element of the Doric Frieze that alternates with the Metopes and is formed by three grooves, or glyphs.
In classical architecture, one of a series of raised ornamental panels in a Doric frieze that consist of three vertical bands; triglyphs alternate with metopes.
a tripartite grooved element that alternated with the metope to form a frieze that decorated buildings of the Greek Doric order
Triglyph is an architectural term for the vertically channeled tablets of the Doric frieze, so called because of the angular channels in them, two perfect and one divided, the two chamfered angles or hemiglyphs being reckoned as one. The square sunk spaces between the triglyphs on a frieze are called metopes.
