What decorations can be done on the structural wall?

The eave cornice is the core of the solid-ridge gable decoration, and the part beyond the eave column of the gable is called the eave cornice, commonly known as "legs." Its function is to ensure a smooth connection between the eave and the wall, allowing the overall image of the building to be unified. The structure of the eave cornice mainly includes three parts: the lower sill, the upper section, and the header (the eave cornice of pagodas, half-hip roofs, and suspended roofs usually does not have a header). The lower sill and the upper section support the header, appearing as a typical wall. The lower sill is generally constructed from the same materials as the rest of the building. The gable wall is the retaining wall on both sides of the house, located below the end of the truss. Taking the solid-ridge gable commonly used in small buildings as an example, it consists of the lower sill, the upper section, and the gable peak. The brick carvings on the solid-ridge gable are often added to the "mountain pendant" on the gable peak, which are one to two carved bricks inlaid in the center of the peak.
